As we get closer to completion of Engine Builder magazine’s 392 Magnum Charity Engine Build project, we would like to take a moment and update the project status and thank all those responsible for this project.

 

First of all, we would like to thank Dave Sutton, contributing editor for Engine Builder for organizing this engine build idea.

Grawmondbecks-Shop

We also want to thank Dave for his help in working with Stacey Redmond and Joe Degraw, owners of Grawmondbecks Competition Engines http://www.grawmondbecks.com in Mason City, IA, who have been dedicating their time and expertise, turning this donated 1977 318 Chrysler engine into a 392 Magnum.

The finished engine will be raffled off for charity and the money raised will be donated to the Independence Fund (www.indepencefund.org), which assists disabled veterans with motorized wheelchairs.

We will have more on the raffle, ticket pricing and where to buy tickets in the next few weeks.

The engine also will be displayed at an upcoming national industry performance show, along with dyno readings and other information.

We also would like to thank the following suppliers and manufacturers for their generosity in donating the parts for this engine build.
