Rollin' Relics' Second Annual Engine Raffle

Would you like to win a beautiful, new, locally built Chevy 350 engine? Well, for only a $5 donation, you could be entered in a raffle--hosted by the Rollin' Relics Car Club--to win this custom built motor.

The engine is a Chevy 350, 9.35-1 compression ratio, four bolt main, with a 292 Comp Cams camshaft, Edelbrock intake manifold, and Pete Jackson gear drive, just to name a few goodies (not pictured: new headers). Built by Don Howard--of Sierra Street Rods of Porterville--this mill would make a great start to a new project, or the final piece of a hot rod build.

To enter, just talk to any Rollin' Relic member; or come on down to one of our Cruise Nights the first Friday of every month. Five dollars gets you a ticket, and the winner will be drawn at the Rollin' Relics Car Show in May 2009.
