Only 2 in existence right now, but more on the way. Our outlaw street guys are sporting 950cid engines dynoing around 1800hp and hitting that with 4 bottles and 2,000 shot of nitrous. But this is a whole new level...

And this is with a 5.3l!! How is he getting that type of efficiency out of that engine? That's some serious airflow to produce that power level.

yeah, i would love to a see a cad render of the block with the cylinders moving up and down, it seems as though he has figured out how to reduce almost every possible unnecessary friction scenario throughout the full rotation cycle, and also align everything for most possible strength. The part about the internal oil pump and the 2 gutters that bring down all of the oil, blew my mind.

in the second video, the narrator says 670cid, but the title of the video says 570cid, and meanwhile the first video Moran calls it a 5.3 liter hemi... so which is it?

Has to be one crazy lay out with the block & cam being 3 inchs taller then the reg 5.3 set up, the pushrods would really have to set in it totally short. Plus with all the oil draining to the very back of the block. No oil at all into a pan that is some crazy power any way. BUT ALSO WOULD HATE TO PUT OUT THE BILL FOR ONE OF THESE MOTORS. Robert

That makes sense doesn't it 
The title saying 570 has to be the typo, it has to be 670ci as they say in the video
I feel like he could charge over half a million for this motor, and there would be buyers, at least for the first 5

Being the 1st few out I was thinking maybe 125,k to 150,k Then going down after the new wear off. But that much really to high for my blood for sure for a build motor BUT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE HOW ONE WOULD DO GOING TO 9,k RPM it would have to sound sweet for sure.. Robert

Robert Miller, the price tag on a fresh 950ci without induction is close to 100K right now. Recently one got off the dyno, and on the first hit sheared the bolts off the belt drive cam sprocket. Some 4 letter words may have be yelled...

Here local to me, I share the same machinist as Jerry Bird (VERY local to me and Kye Kelly). You may assume it was one of those...

im telling you, its a masterpiece. The guy could fetch over a million dollars an engine if they put together a high quality documentary with some classical symphony music as hes describing all the different ways he could have built then engine, but chose this way instead, for part after part...
some billionaire car nut would insist on having the first one. He just DOUBLED HP figures of what an engine its size was able to do prior.
Do you have any idea how hard that is to do!? Its insanity to me.
