Back when I was building pull truck engines, I had ideas of setting up an exhibition truck with a GMC V-12 for power. The cold hard reality of the impossibility of building a high-performance V-12 trashed that idea. We campaigned a Dodge chassis with a roller-cammed 440 in the Super Stock class for several years. Class rules specified one 4-BBL and gasoline, but I still managed to get 700+ HP on the dyno. I also built blown hemis for the Douthit family's "Big Mama Magic" truck for some time. Our biggest one was a dry-block hemi that came out to 547 cubic inches after a bore and sleeve job. Larry Douthit won several pulls with it before he got greedy and turned up the boost. It put the crankshaft out the bottom in three pieces!
