U.S. Army sponsored MOPAR engine and huffer, complete tear-down, micrometer, bearing surface and worn part replacement, & rebuild—all in 7 1/2 minutes. There’s a much longer video of the process if you’d like a more in-depth look, but this is pretty neat.

I was at a car show many years ago and saw this done live. I think it was something like 20 minutes to strip the engine down to the block and reassemble. Not a movement was wasted.

I'd never be able to keep track of where each nut or bolt went back on. Amazing.

It takes me 7 1/2 minutes to find the first socket I dropped.

It's interesting that they fuzzed out the intake top of the supercharger. There must be some pretty fancy proprietary design going on there.
It blows me away that each one of those cylinders makes more horsepower than a Formula 1 engine.

Wow, that is so true. As far as the video goes it's interesting that for the most part they use all hand tools. Not much for cordless or pneumatic.

I had a MOPAR 440 magnum in my '66 Chrysler. I wish I still had that car.

Way different fuel allowances/volumes to the cylinder ... F1 has “road relevance” PC BS. Apples to zebras.
I could say that an F1 car can navigate its way around any 2-4 mile road track far faster than a dragster ever could.
Cool video though!

The hat design and placement as well as the plenum below it/above the rotors is a very big part of the power that will be made. So, yes it's "fuzzy" logic.

I have rebuilt a lot of engines but never one so clean. These guys aren't even getting their hands dirty. Cool video.

It always hits the top of my shoe which is unfortunately tapered toward the middle of the underside of my vehicle.

Well sure. I've seen the videos of fuel flow at speed in one of those engines. Still, a bore and a piston is still a bore and a piston and you won't squash my sense of wonder that that engine produces as much power as it does and doesn't fly into a bazillion pieces...very often.

I used to build 1950s cast iron hemis in a small cramped poorly lit garage. Last one was about 1972

That engine was not run before they tore it down.
Still had assembly lube all over it.
Does not take away from the tear-down/rebuild speed.
Having done similar work, when you get in the groove, people can do some pretty impressive stuff.

They pack so much nitro into each cylinder at speed that is almost a solid. That is why 2 mags and 2 plugs per hole. When they do misfire it is like trying to compress a brick. Then balooy.

I should be so lucky. The top of MY shoe is angled towards a black hole...
