" The World's Fastest Piston Engine in a car is a small block Chevy " !

At last fall's FIA meet at Bonneville , a streamliner powered by a twin turbocharged small block Chevy engine ( 347 c.i. - 2077 HP ) set the record at 462 MPH . The same car with a smaller ( 300 c.i. engine - 1980 HP ) went 390.709 MPH ! The teams goal is to top 500 MPH with this same combination ! A full report of this can be seen in the April 2012 issue of Hot Rod magazine and NO ... I'm not associated with that magazine in any form !
