I think he used to make alot of the engines for the fastest street car shoot outs, and he used to have ads in National Dragster. Didn't Hot Rod magazine do some write ups on his motors?

Sonny
Specializes in Large Cubic inch Drag Race motors. He builds good drag motors, but most of his stuff used VERY large heads to make the power, not the best in a boat. In CA you'd be cheaper dealing with someone like Paul Pfaff, and spending a little more rather than shipping.
