Accessories & Modifications
The car sports a One off Custom 2x3 Tube Chassis that we custom built here in our shop. The car has a 12 point cage including funny car conversion. Has Tubular upper and lower arms on the front with a mustang II front Subframe narrowed 8 inches to fit. The rear is a 9" Ford with 4.10 gears, spool, 31 spline axles, S&W Double Adjustable Ladder Bar suspension and Coil Overs. Car has Rare 15x14 Cragar SS Alloy Aluminum 1 piece forged rear wheels with Brand Spankin New 29x18.50x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros and a set of 15x4 Cragars on the front.
The motor is a SBC 350 bored .030 over to make a 355 with a 671 BDS Supecharger setting on top of it with 2 750 Holley Double Pumper Carbs with the blower driven 1 to 1 . Im not sure how much boost the motor will make but the EST. HP is around 525-550. She only gets about 6 miles to the gallon but you get there fast. LOL The Tranny is a Turbo 350 with a 3500 Converter, Shift Kit, and some other tricks done to it. The car weighs with a SBC and Turbo 350 about 2400 pounds. This car should run the 1/4 mile at about 10.50 or better on pump gas, street tires, and through the exhaust.
Vehicle Showcase
I have Won 1 Trophy at a Local Car Show for top 10 car out of about 100, I Won a Plaque on this website for Profile Of The month in June, Ive also Made the Front page on www.V8bugs.com, Also had a big write up on my VW on www.cardomain.com, I have already had some nice accomplishments with my VW but It will be even sweeter once I get it into a Magazine or 2. Im hoping to have my VW at the Track sometime this year and see what It will do in the 1/4.
Bulletin Board
Im looking for 62-67 2 door hardtop Chevy II Nova, doesnt have to be a SS but Would like to have one. Just looking for a Nice Cheap Project to start with to make a Pro Street, Street/Strip car with.
