David Nonis is back with an update on his incredible Jaguar E-Type project. Since our last article, he spent 12 hours spraying the body in PPG Dark Maroondy Pearl paint and two gallons of PPG Concept Clear. The car is now in final assembly awaiting the Viper V10 built by Prefix in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The company tuned the motor on their dyno where it made 677 horsepower at 6200 rpm naturally aspirated. David estimates it will make 1150+ horsepower on 10 psi of boost when the two 67 mm turbochargers are added later. The motor was built with a 9.0 L stroker rotating assembly, Oliver connecting rods, roller camshaft, and billet main caps. David plans to tame the power somewhat with traction control and boost by gear. A built TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission sends power to a modular 9-inch rear end.
