Yes we now have confirmation that this engine was in fact part of the test bed/Dyno engine for the CERV project.

The number on the engine with 12-A means it was a test engine/Dyno

and the 13-A means it was in fact on the car.

But just being part of the history makes this engine very unique and I was told that this engine was not suppose to leave the building and had to be destroyed.

 

If 2 turbos on a sbc seem like a bit much, how about *eight*?

 

Just be thankful you're not in Texas you might be held for stolen property........

 

wow

 

That right there is pretty cool

 

Very cool guys. What an honor to have such a cool piece of Chevy history. What are your plans for the motor?

Time to let it go to someone that would really appreciate a piece of history....

 

Good luck you guys. I am happy you found it and searched for its history and thanks for sharing it.

 

I'll start the bidding. One left nut!!

 

Thanks I really appreciate it........

 

Any new info on this??????

 

Haven't been throught the whole thread yet, but the pics I have for a twin turbo motor for the CERV1 show the turbos blowing into a Rochester FI plenum...

 

Ok, sorry about the quality, goddam crappy cold-war era microfilm...

Supposedly, these are R&D photos from the CERV program.
