who's this guy?

Anyone remember who the guy is that's building 7 liter 928 short blocks using the 5.0L block as a base, then removing the original cylinder liners and installing steel liners of his own creation to get to 7 liters (427 CI)?????

He's somewhere in Wisconsin, if memory serves me correctly, but it's not Carl Fausett----this guy is a machinist by trade, making cylinder jugs for all sorts of things like motorcycles and early Porsches.....

Any one got a name, address, website, etc??????

He's my engine builder and part of the Murf928 crew up here in Green Bay.

If you want to contact him, send a PM to Tim Murphy on Rennlist.

Every picture of his engine builds are on my web site.

Yup, Mr.Todd

SwayBar on Rennlist is currently running one of his motors, a non-boosted wet sleeved engine. The factory cylinders were completely removed from the block, a new cylinder is pressed in.

Todd switched from Bosch LH / EZK to Autronic this year. For testing purposes he dropped in a 5.0 motor (some slight modifications for boost).
We are looking at a dyno day in the near future for his car and a follow up for mine. IIRC he’s pushing over 20psi via a Novi 2000 supercharger.

The site is way overdue for an update; I’m hoping to stop by his house soon to take some more pictures of his various projects:
