1986 Buick Grand National

Dick is trying to keep a lid on most of the engine's specs, but he did say that using a Moldex crank, Crower rods, and CP Pistons, the stock 109 block claims 250 cubes. Zimmerman Racing Engines machined and assembled the motor using billet main caps and an RJC girdle to keep the bottom end intact. A vacuum pump is used to remove crankcase pressure created from up to 30 psi of boost thanks to the Precision 70mm turbo. For the record setting 8-second pass, a much larger custom turbo from Cal Hartline motivated the Buford. Hartline is also responsible for tuning the FAST XFI system and AMS1000 boost controller.
