I think you're dealing with perspective with the photography. What appears to be a smaller turbo right behind the engine is actually a similar turbo to the big one mounted on the other side. Photos can sometimes be tricky that way.  Pete  Yep, Sumner

Wide-angle lenses produce a highly distorted perspective. A portrait shot with a wide-angle lens makes the person's nose appear much bigger than it actually is. A 90mm lens produces a true visual perspective.

Neil: Wide angle lens works like beer goggles? They both produce a highly distorted perspective. BR

Is it just me or does that engine look more like a DRCE than an LS? Anybody know? Sid.

It's not (never has been) an LS series or a DRCE. The engine is a standard type small block chevy (Dart block) with what is known as a "Splay Valve" head although Dart makes a similar type head called "Little Chief" which is what is being used in this application.

Thanks for that. That also explains why the turbos look so big. Obviously I've never had the chance to personally check the engine out with the body skins off, I'm just always too busy at the salt. For some reason I was under the impression it was LS based. Sid.

You're not alone Sid. I had some idea in my head that it was an LS as well.
