John Force's shop had absolutely everything from paint booth to assembly line, to multiple CNC for making all their own cylinder heads. Goal is to bring everything inhouse. They plan on building their own blowers in there too.


Opps...motor blew

Block of Aluminum through completed head

Heads during machining process...they had 6-8 of these CNC machines

If you are going ot make your own heads, you better have a pretty block to attach it to.

Then you need one massive rear end to deliver the power to the ground

And a good looking paint job for all the sponsors that pay the bills

And here is where you sit. Hope that diff doesn't blow because it is smack dab in your crotch, your legs go over the axles. (sorry for blurry pic)

Sure are some nice shop and lobby floors.

At Litton's Lucas Oil shop did you see the muscle car collection or just the race side?

There's a Muscle Car Collection too? Missed that.

There were a few out and about.
