Well-built Opel Mantas aren’t a common sight, especially in North America, and Jesse Havlik’s build is certainly well-built! This beast of a machine somehow has 582 cubic inches of big-block Chevrolet shoehorned into the front of the car, connected to the 6.0-certified chassis. With the goal of mid- to high-7 second quarter-mile elapsed times, the Manta is coming prepared to put up a solid effort!

Congratulations to Hot Rods by Havliks for winning Engine Builder Magazine’s Engine of the Year at PRI 2022!
