New engines for Aftermath
Daniel purchased 4 Chevy V8 540 cui. engines in the USA last year. The power plants ran on Brian Shramek's Unlimited Mod Tractor called ,,Young Blood Unleashed" in the past. The engines have a New Century aluminium billet block with Indy cylinderheads, a PSI 8-71 blower with a DMPE carbon fiber scoop, a crower crankshaft with billet aluminuim rods and pistons, a Enderle fuel system and a MSD Pro Mag 44 ignition.
The Aftermath Pulling Team will compete in the British Championship (Mod and Light Mod division) and for the first time in the Euro Cup (Light Mod division) this year.
The first start with those new engines on the Tractor is planned for the 18th of March 2017 at the European Superpull in Ahoy, Rotterdam.

Workshop news Team Exception
At Exloerveen in the Netherlands, the Exception Pulling Team are busy on their Mini Rod called ,,Exception" at the moment. The tractor gets a new Domex wedge frame with some improvements.
The engine of the Mini Rod sits a few cm further back in the chassis now. The Dutch Team hopes to get a better balance with those changes. The New Century engine of the vehicle is currently checked and revised. After the big engine damage at the EC 2016 in Great Eccleston, Great Britain, the New Century gets a new crankshaft, new bearings, new piston rings, new rods, new homemade exhaust headers and new seals in the SSI 14-71 blower.
Due to less time and money, the Exception Pulling Team will compete with their Mini Rod in the Dutch Grand National Championship only this year.
The Exception Pulling Team would also like to give a big thanks to all their sponsors for the great support. Without the support, it would be not possible to repair the engine and to build this new chassis.
