Hemis

Ed- They have been getting a 1st rate complete teardown regularly

Julie, for those of us that are in the dark somewhat on the goings on in ss/ah, could you post who the engine builders are for the hemi cars at indy. I am sure you know most or all of them.

Thanks, Dave

Westcott Power:
CW Jr
CW Sr
Rains
Hebert
Howes
Warford
Comella

Barton Power:
Daniels
Barton
Wolkwitz
Pancake* (not sure if it's still Barton stuff)
Brooks

CFO Power (Erik Jones):
Raybourn

Joe Clark Power:
Hess

Modern Cylinder Head Power:
Kobylski

I'm not sure about Helms and Teuton, but IIRC they have an in-house engine program and were using Westcott components.

Bales has a few different motors that he purchased from other racers. He also had an engine being built by Bischoff but I don't know if that's the motor in the car.

I know who's been helping Marvel but I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

Campbell bought the ex-Wilkes Cuda and they were doing their own engines before they sold the car so I assume that their engine is still in the car. Could be wrong...

I don't know who does Zrust's stuff.

Did I miss anyone??

Darrell Marvel has been using Steve Morris Racing Engines for the last couple of years.

I heard that Howes had the Armstrongs do some work on the Westcott powerplant.

Jared Jordan · 09-03-2009, 12:53 PM

That's correct. Armstrong did put Howes' motor together but did so using Westcott components.

If I remember correctly he had ground the screw heads flush with the butterflys and they wouldn't let that pass.
