World’s biggest “big block” v8, 16400cc and 2150hp naturaly aspirated!

That is more than double the power of the Bugatti Veyron’s quad turbo 8L 16 Cylinder heart! Sonny’s Racing Engines has built the first V8 racing engine to top 1000 cubic inches. The new SRE V8 is one serious piece with a price tag approaching $110,000 but its easy to see how cost escalates quickly with a billet block and crank, billet cylinder heads, special sheet metal intake, four throttle bodies and the EFI system.

This is a monster engine with massive bore and stroke dimensions. There’s a lot of metal being tossed around in there and in typical fashion, Sonny’s has engineered it to function efficiently and reliably. Check out these basic features.
