Congratulations to Jeff Gritton and his KENNEDY PERFORMANCE RACE ENGINE powered,  KOI Auto Parts sponsored two wheel drive pulling truck named "Maritial Madness" for finishing 4th in points in the 2009 Kentucky Truck Pulling Association.  This was his first year competing in the Pro Stock 2WD class that is limited to 470 CID and a 850CFM carburetor rule.  We look forward to the 2010 season with the goal of finishing number one in points.  Special thanks goes to all sponsors and friends that helped make this happen.  Some of the sponsors include; Sod Works, KOI Auto Parts, Walters Truck & Trailer Repair, Lawn Works, Inc., Great Lawns, Down to Earth Landscaping.

This Pontiac 428 has been built for the street and occasional trip to the drag strip.  It consists of custom Diamond pistons to yield 9.5:1 compression, a custom ground Comp Cams hyd. flat tappet camshaft, Eagle H-beam rods, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Canton oil pan, Scorpion Roller rocker arms and too much to list.  This engine will be planted into Curt Richards 1969 Pontiac Firebird.  Curt Richards owns and operates Motor Sports in Lexington, Ky.  If you own a BMW and need repair or service, Motor Sports is the only place to go!

Chrysler 340 stroked out to 416 CID.  This engine was built by a Kennedy Performance apprentice by the name of Chris Finley for his 1972 Dodge Challenger.  The engine makes 525 ftlbs. of torque and 460+ HP.  I will be updating more information on this project as I find the time.

This Jaguar 4-1/2L engine was rebuilt for this beautiful 1957 Jaguar XK 140 owned by Beth Barden & Tony Dehner.  It had suffered dropping a valve that went through the top of the piston.  We were able to weld up and restore the combustion chamber, install new valve seats & valves, bore the block .020" overbore and save this number matching engine in time for the 2009 Lexington Keenland Concours d'Elegance.
