I see this guy Peter Thau got the 1000 ci kit from Sonny Leonard

Sonny’s Automotive Racing (SAR) is working overtime building mountain motors in the 900ci range based on 5.3-inch blocks, the shop has received only one other order for a 1,000ci engine — and that was in kit form. Leonard machined the block and heads, gathered up the proper cam, crank and induction system, along with the necessary hardware and accessories — and shipped the package to Peter Thau of CarTek in Denmark. And no full-time racing for this engine. Thau went “green” and built the ultimate E85 street/strip engine.

“It starts, idles and behaves like your new grocery car,” reports Thau, “but sounds like thunder!”

Thau says early dyno tests are showing over 1,360 horsepower and 1,314 lb-ft of torque, but he’s running out fuel at 5,500 rpm.

“I’m working on bigger injectors,” he adds.
