AMT Racing Engines

I can't say enough good things about these guys. ETC has some of the best high performance software on the market including their industry standard 4-Link Wizard program for calculating drag car instant centers, and their soon to be released Engine Calculator software. We use the Engine Calculator in the shop every day for figuring Static Compression Ratio on our customer builds. They also make the Mittler Bend Calculator software for race car tube fabricators and Jerry Bickel's Chassis Wizard software for estimating 60-foot times.

Their V8 Racing Engine training course is second to none. I should know, I'm one of the instructors! Over the past several years, we've taught hundreds of students how to plan their engine build to achieve the results they want given their budget and saved them from making big mistakes in component selection, preparation and assembly.

ETC originated the Reher-Morrison Racing Engines books plus Jerry Bickel's Complete Guide to Chassis Performance and the Jerry Bickel Race Car Performance Class. If that wasn't enough, they currently conduct a Harley-Davidson Performance Mods class and a Custom Bike & Chopper Build class. Check out their website for details.

Cloyes True Roller and Hex-a-Just timing chain sets are a great choice for most performance applications.

Durabond is the brand of choice for cam bearings. They manufacture a high performance bearing with a slippery fluoropolymer coating that retains its lubricating characteristics during momentary oil starvation and cold startups. Highly recommended!

Clevite makes some great main bearings for racing engines including their H-Series tri-metal bearing that holds up very well under the pressures of racing.
