Coming Soon:
Increase your Jeep's performance by installing a Remanufactured Racing
Head that increases the breathing capability through the use of oversized
lightweight hardened racing valves and head porting. Combine this head
with a free flowing exhaust system and ported induction system, and a
properly indexed camshaft, then you have bolt on power without
increasing displacement. We can further increase the power potential by
installing a race prepared NOS ready short block (or complete engine
assembly). Our special short blocks use custom made Nitrous enhanced
pistons, performance connecting rods, and special trick fabrications that
put power with dependability in your mountain tamer. If you don't want to
install a stump pulling high torque 350 Chevy, and you want to keep your
Jeep looking original in the engine compartment, let LaPouttre Racing
Heads \ Engines install a Jeep Torque Master Engine Fabrication in
America's Favorite Original SUV.
Rick LaPouttre is a NOS Systems Specialist and
Master Mechanic
specializing in racing head manufacturing and race
engine design and
construction for all areas of the motorsports.
We have the technology are you ready to win?
