Davin Reckow from Hagerty stopped by Don Schumacher Racing in Brownsburg, Indiana to disassemble and rebuild an engine used in their U.S. Army Top Fuel dragster. The all-billet-aluminum 500 ci HEMI V8 makes 11,000 horsepower thanks to a large 14-71 series supercharger and 10% methanol/90% nitromethane fuel. Watch a time-lapse video of the engine being rebuilt and then listen as Davin and Ben Woodworth discuss all the parts and work that go into such an incredible engine.

I have loved the HEMI engine since 1965. Have been going to drag races
Since the age of 13 & hope to go to The Strip in Las Vegas and the Sema show the end of this month. The first drag race I went was a match race, Atco Raceway Acto, New Jersey. I saw God rest his soul the man himself, Bill Grumpy Jenkins. I was hooked, started building a model drag racing cars. I drove Chevys in teenage yrs. Chevelles 2 to be exact a70 & a73 307 cubic in. Never raced but loved the sport. Thanx, Jerry Hobbs
