[my name is nobody]

I have a friend who is an old top fuel dragster racer.
while he is no longer in NHRA as a driver, he does build some engines.
This is the motor he built for his 1970 Dodge Challenger:













Keith Black 512 HEMI.
Mooneyham 14-71 Supercharger.
Enderle injection.
he runs this car on methanol.

1500 horsepower.

I've seen this car get the throttle whacked, the frame tweaks and the doors pop open.

Brutal.

Speaking aesthetically pleasing engines-

the Mopar "Sonoramic" Cross Ram Wedge

the Ford Y-block

the Chevy 348/409

For ease of working on and general reliability-

The 225 Slant 6, hands down.
