Team MMR Resets Modular-Powered World Records At 6.04 And 246 MPH
http://www.dragzine.com/news/team-mm...4-and-246-mph/
Seth-Hunter’s machine, surprising as it may be to many, is powered by a modified 2013 GT500 Mustang 5.4L production-based Modular engine, utilizing a factory alloy block with proprietary aftermarket MMR bore sleeves, heavily ported production GT500 DOHC cylinder heads, along with custom MMR camshafts and valvetrain components, all paired with a set of 88mm Garrett GTX4718R turbochargers and transferred through an automatic transmission. The large (relative to the smaller 4.6 Modulars) engine has a 4.165-inch stroke, but is still spun to over 9,600 RPM, providing the power to push the 2,500-pound car into a performance territory typically reserved for much larger, more powerful, and certainly more expensive combinations.
For those keeping score at home, Seth-Hunter tripped the sixty-foot clock in 1.024-seconds and was 4.040 at 193.02 mph to half track on the record-breaking run.

Really amazing performance from a factory block. When they are all done setting records, I would like to see how fast they would run with a production GT 500 body shell.

I had the same question. I had heard machine shops would be using steel sleeves to salvage worn out blocks. Maybe this is the company that may supply the steel sleeves.
