No rock buggy engine is complete without its own supercharger. On alcohol, the engine is designed to produce about 580 HP. It is expected, once set up for the buggy, to provide about 480 HP with 450 pound feet of torque with gas. Once on the dyno, those numbers can be firmed up. Expected boost from the supercharger will be in the neighborhood of 14 pounds.

The engine is built from a Chevy block. The middle two banks of cylinders are cut out of the block and the front and rear sections are then welded back together to produce the V4 engine. You have to admit that having that little puppy sticking through a hole in the hood of your TJ would look pretty wicked.

yeah but you wont be driving on that engine for long. looks like it would work great for a competition buggy, where motors arent expected to last very long.
