project dragon stomper?

[polski ogorki]

So I'm looking through an old MiniTruckin mag (June 97) and on the last page there is an article called "industry look" .The heading is "Sir Michael's Announces Plans for it's 1997 S.E.M.A. project....Dragon Stomper!

It's a 65 stake bed with a blown all aluminum,4-cylinder engine out of a 64 pontiac tempest built by none other than the legend Keith Black!

Said to produce 500hp.

I have been searching for hours online to try to find anything on this truck with no luck! I will continue to search,but I thought I would get the Ratsun crew in on it so we can get to the bottom of this lost project!

Thanx Rich

The four cylinder was 'half' of a GTO motor and could be gotten with 10.25 compression and a four barrel making 155 hp from 194 cu in..

I don't think so, the owner of Sir Michael's still has a stock white 320 sitting at the shop

I wonder if it is the same project that never happened?

If so where is this motor?

I used to have an old hot rod magazine with an article on 4-bangers.

There were some crazy looking motors in there!

there was one with a 371 or 471 blower on it, another had two 4-barrels!
