Engine Masters, Amsoil, JE Pistons and Hot Rod magazine are happy to announce this year’s Engine Masters Challenge class concepts. In its 17th year, the Engine Masters Challenge is the largest competition of its kind, testing the mettle of the best engine builders around. The Engine Masters Challenge takes the racing off the track and into the dyno cell from October 1-5 at the JE Pistons headquarters in Mentor, Ohio.
Ten applicants will be chosen for each designated class, with all other applicants becoming alternates. The entry fee is $350 per applicant. Using JE Pistons’ SuperFlow dynamometer, each competitor’s engine will be put through a series of tests designed to measure torque, power, and performance, where the best combination of torque and horsepower scores wins the class.
2018 Engine Masters Challenge Classes:
- Vintage Class: This class encourages competitors to think out of the box and revive unique, highly aesthetic, and often-forgotten engine architectures with new-age horsepower-producing techniques. Types of engines found in this class include: normally aspirated OEM domestic production passenger car V-8 engine types or families introduced in 1954 or earlier; normally aspirated OEM domestic production passenger car inline six-cylinder engine types or families introduced in 1964 or earlier.
- Muscle Car Engines Class: This class includes big-blocks and small-blocks and have a cubic-inch range from 400ci to 500ci. Street-style heads are required, and race-only parts are prohibited throughout the build.
AMSOIL will provide oil for both testing and competition runs at the event. For a listing of complete class rules and event information please visit http://www.hotrod.com/events/engine-masters-challenge/. For questions and feedback, please contact questions@enginemasters.com.
