What happens here

Mitchell introduces the project, a highly customized engine for his Cadillac Escalade. He explains that the engine is a 427 cubic inch Dart block with twin Precision 7675 turbos and Frankenstein heads. He clarifies that this is not a crate motor but a custom compilation of parts and expertise from various companies.
