NASTY ’71 INJECTION IS NICE, BUT... The potent blown Chevy Mouse is mounted to the Performance Fabrication tube chassis via a custom aluminum motor plate. A Holley fuel system keeps the thirsty small block adequately fed, while a Mezeire Enterprises black billet electric water pump makes sure it is well hydrated.
All that arrow-straight custom fabricated rigidity would be for naught without a heavy breathing powerplant, so Sanguinetti pulled out all the stops to piece together a wild Chevy mouse motor. Starting with an all aluminum Dart block, Arron Johnson of
Bad Ass Racing Engines in Sonoma, CA expertly added a forged Callies crank with H-beam rods, thermal and anti-friction coated 7.5:1 JE pistons, and a custom ground solid roller cam in constructing a bulletproof, but still pumpgas friendly, shortblock.
