A legendary man and his humble shop, the home of the super sized "Mountain Motor" and a place where art and science have converged for decades. Congratulations on 45+ awesome years. Thank you Sonny Leonard

He lost all of my respect when he started doing business with "people" who said they wanted America DEAD. Eff Sonny Leonard, Shannon Jenkins, Reher & Morrison, all of 'em who sold out.

20 years ago we ran a Sonny's engine in a 70 camaro. IHRA comp eliminator. It was a 565 inch n/a , it made 1000 hp with a single dominator. It was a lot of fun. Engine was flawless. Driver and crew ,not so much.

Spinning a big displacement motor to those kind of RPM doesnt happen by guess work or luck. And those HP numbers without stuffing it full of air or NOS is no joke. Wish i had a couple for my boat. Yall got my respect for sure.

Thanks for sharing. Always loved that icing on the cake. (Sonny's Valve covers). When walking around the pits, you could make a mental note, before they shut the hood, who had Sonny's engines and if you were a betting man, just go ahead and put your money on the cars with his engines, and you would go home with more money than what you came with, except for the motel room. Look like a blessed bunch of guys to be able to work for a boss like you.

+Deany D Arton The School of Automotive Machinists in Houston Tx. I graduated from that school, it's strictly focused on machining and building hi-performance and race engines, and many graduates go on to work on NHRA and NASCAR Cup teams. If you're an engine guy, and want to work in a place like Sonny's, that's where you want to go.
