The small-block Chevy in the C2 was a natural choice for powering a car through the tight turns of an autocross course. The Hobaughs' 'Vette's small block is a 364 cu.in. Chevy with aluminum Brodix Track 1 heads, a SCAT lightweight crankshaft, Crower Rods, a Crane roller camshaft, and Harland Sharp roller rockers. A TPiS fuel injection system feeds the beast and an Accel engine management maintains control. The combo produces 525 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, and Brian runs the engine all the way up to its 7,500 rpm redline. Solo racing doesn't require, or especially favor, a fancy 6-speed gearbox, so the reliable Muncie four-speed in the 'Vette is just what the doctor ordered, as the Hobaugh's track record will testify.
