Unable to post pictures but it does show a billet aluminum V8 block in the comments with a man saying he had worked on it many times and the NYTP commenting awesome. |

Why
|
Why would a ppl sanction club think this is awesome, it is not even legal to run! This is what ruins pulling and drives the cost up! It doesn’t matter if the tractor never made it off the line or couldn’t make a decent pass, it’s still not legal! |

True
|
This info of the block is 110% true. The block is sitting at a machine shop in PA getting repaired. Just saw it there, they are trying to fix the bearing issues with it. After all this posting about it. The cats out of the bag and how can the club let him run It anymore? It’s a pretty easy protest deal. I will say it has a big bore and stroke too, way over cubic inch rule too. |

Is the crank at the machine shop too? Or can you magically tell what the stoke is just by looking at the block?

Was NYTPA previously sanctioned by the NTPA, and that is why he had a billet block? Did the NYTPA grandfather him in when they went to PPL? Total guesses on my part. I would find it hard to believe no one ever noticed the billet block haha. |

Jake,
Chris is cheating with a billet block! That is black and white wrong and ruins the sport. no need to worry about cubic inch(bore or stroke) but yes the crank is at machine shop too. Whole motor is there to be exact. Nytpa does not have anything grandfathered and it has been over 20years sense nytpa has been with ntpa! |

DV550
|
It was hard enough to keep an IH DV550 motor running long term in a truck. DeLynn Kale and Tom Urmson, 30 years ago, very quickly learned just how unreliable it was to try to Super Stock one of those engines, even on alcohol. And they soon gave up, despite having poured plenty of $ into them. In reality, that was probably the worst engine IH engineers ever dreamt up. (A re-conversion of their V549 gasser which was a pretty good motor.)
Good for Chris that it is something different than the standard in 66 sheetmetal. |

I believe that block has been running for a long time. Was it legal, probably not, but apparently nobody that was running against them thought it was serious enough to protest and do something about it. At least they copied something that was in a 2wd tractor, and I don't see any window repairs, but If something let go you could repair that chunk of aluminum. Other than material no different than the hyper block. |

I heard rumor from a reliable source that his plan is to run it as a v 6 for when he is running in a 504 class. Then put the other two pistons in and change the cam so that he run in a 650 cubic inch class. |
