Progress continues on our Tiger. This past week we spent a couple of days at Abacus Racing where we assembled and dynoed our Tiger’s engine. After much consideration and a few miss starts we decided to go with a five bolt 289 that has been stroked to 331 cubic inches.
This engine uses K1 crank and rods, JE Pistons and Edelbrock’s Power Package Top End Kit, complete with aluminum heads, and a matching cam and intake manifold.

Next we will bolt the engine and transmission together to test fit it with the headers. Then we’ll send the headers out to Swain Coatings. They claim they can lower the header temperature some 300 degrees with their unique coating process.
