Project MO-Power

Project Mo-Power was started to fill a gap in the Mopar(ie dodge, chrysler, plymouth, jeep, etc) consumer market. Mopar racers looking to make elite levels of horsepower in an OEM(original engine manufacturer) configuration Big Block Mopar didn't have very many options to choose from. Seeing the need, I set out to design a cylinder head that was capable of achieving significant amounts of horsepower while also trying to think outside of the box. My hope is that at the end of the day, I have give engine builders and racers a platform to propel the OEM Big Block Mopar racing engine to new heights. The result of this effort has yielded 8 potential cylinder head designs that with your help, can be brought to fruition.

The Canted Valve Big Block Mopar

How you can help

I would like to your help in making this project happen and you can make your contribution in one of two ways. One is by making a monetary donation to our ongoing crowd-funding campaign or by donating parts and/or services.  In making a contribution to the project, I want to give you an opportunity to be directly involved in the design process. Every contributor will be granted an opportunity to vote on what cylinder head configuration, valve layout, valve angles, and cylinder head trademark that they would like to see. Once the fundraising campaign comes to a close, the votes will be tallied and the resulting configuration will be chosen to be the first prototype to be manufactured. The goal is to get a pair of cylinder head prototypes machined, purchase/develop the rocker arms, rocker arm stands, and the remainder of the valvetrain if my financial goal is reached.  If by chance the funding campaign comes up short, I will continue to work towards getting the heads developed until they are ready to go on an engine. I hope and pray that you will join me on this journey by becoming a contributor and I look forward to seeing this project come to fruition.

Contributor Details

Monetary Donations:

  • $0-$10 donations will allow contributors to select which cylinder head configuration(wedge or canted) they like best.

  • $11-$20 donations will allow contributors to select the cylinder head configuration(wedge or canted) and valve layout they like best.

  • $21-Up donations will allow contributors to select the cylinder head configuration(wedge or canted), valve layout, valve angle, and valve size they like best.

  • The contributor making the largest contribution will be able to select the cylinder head configuration(wedge or canted), valve layout, valve angle, valve size, and will be given the sole right to trademark the cylinder head with a name of their choosing.

  • Also, I want to clarify that any contribution amount will be accepted. 25cents, $1, $5, or whatever. Any of those contributions give you an opportunity to get involved. Indiegogo kind of makes that confusing since it is formatted to show one value to receive the perk. That however is not the case. Please follow suit with the ranges that are posted above. Upon making a contribution, I will send an email to you to record your vote.


Parts and/or Services Donations:

  • All part and/or services donations will be able to select the cylinder head configuration(wedge or canted), valve layout, valve angle, and valve size the like best.

  • Please contact me in regards to donating any parts or services. (adrielparadise@yahoo.com)

Where is your money going:

  • All money that is collected with go towards getting the selected cylinder head prototype machined. All leftover funds, if any will be used to develop/purchase the remainder of the cylinder head in the following order; the valve train(rocker arms, rocker arms stands, rocker shafts, valves, valve locks, valve retainers, etc), the valve covers, intake manifold, and pistons.

Voting Instructions:

Upon making your contribution, please email me(adrielparadise@yahoo.com) the choices you make in regards to the valve angle, valve layout, head configuration, valve size, and trademark name. Please remember that your contribution amount correlates to the amount of options you can vote on. I will be able to verify all contribution amounts through indiegogo, If you run into any trouble with this process, please email me (adrielparadise@yahoo.com). Thanks!

Please Note: follow the contribution amounts listed above, please ignore the amounts listed in the perks section. Indiegogo, doesn't allow a range to be listed and as such I put the highest values of each contribution tier to ensure the perks were listed with the project.

About Me


Adriel Paradise is a passionate individual at the beginning of his career interested in developing innovative racing engine parts. Being introduced to drag racing by his father at a young age seeded the necessary passion to become a mechanical engineer and active participant in drag racing. He is actively involved in maintaining and racing the family owned drag racing car and continuing to work towards building his own race car one day.  Beyond establishing his career and pursuing his dreams, he spends time nurturing relationships with friends and family.
