Wally World Racing Engines - PNW shop?

[andrewwoz]

This is a long shot but has anyone ever heard of Wally World Racing Engines? Looking at a motor that belonged to someone who passed away and the person selling it is saying it was built by Wally World Racing Engines (because that's the sticker on the valve cover) It would be up in Oregon or Washington state.

I have my doubts of it being a shop, google searching has not turned up anything.

Trying to get some more details on the build, it was done in the past 2 years but the guy doesn't really know anything about it besides it's a 512/400 block, interested to know compression mainly.

Remembering Wally World - race-deZert.com

Wally was really proud of this Wildcat he built. He brought it out to Moab in 2013 to show it off. I loved it, he put a GIANT UTVUnderground.com logo on the roof! He always had my back.
Monday April 7th, 2015, the world lost a great man. Our good friend and colleague Rick “Wally” Wallace passed away peacefully in his sleep. Rick Wallace, simply known to all of us as Wally, had a long 3 to 4 year battle with cancer. I have never had to write a story in this tone before. Its a story I would never want to write, but its one that this man deserves.

I first met Wally somewhere around 2008. I can’t pinpoint exactly when and thats probably because after meeting him I had felt like I had known him my whole life. Wally had that affect on people. He would greet you with a smile that I now wish I could see one more time. He was a talented individual. I met Wally as he was transitioning into his love for UTVs. Wally was a painter by trade but had an eye for vehicle design and was as creative a person I had ever met. He could visualize things in a way that few could and the vehicles he would create were some of the coolest I had ever seen. He was amazing. Over the years Wally and I would get to race together, ride together on many adventures and would become close friends and riding buddies.
