This BMW S65 V8 engine was run in the Continental Tire Challenge inside a BMW M3, but is now a SCCA Touring 1 class motor. The engine came into Hutter Racing Engines in need of new rings, pistons, a tightening up of the cylinder walls, a valve job, and more.

1968 426 HEMI Engine

This 1968 426 HEMI engine came into Victory Racing Engines in Cleveland in pretty rough shape. Rust, gunk, and 30 years of wear and tear is what Ray Banyas had to cut through in order to get this engine breathing again.

LSX 454 DR Sunnen/Victory Junction Charity Engine

The core of this engine is a stock, right-from-the-GM-factory LSX 454 DR. And that is where the “stock” aspect of this engine stops.
