454 big block chevy bored out 60thou with a blower and twin 750 double pumpers.
do it!
seriously look at the suspension when adding weight in the front
you will most likely have to mod the firewall for any engine transplant, a diff upgrade should be done aswell due to the stock 5hp power figure
dope, i wanna see 3" wider guards and running boards all round, 302w,
channel the shit out of it, maybe even roof chop it 2"....
or.........
flip front, flamed out, lake pipes, modgies
if you stinkers arent up to much and just kicking the biscuit,
fill up the ride and head over the hills to greymouth.
opening meeting at greenstone park speedway on saturday,
and the greymouth street races on sunday..
epic weekend with good weather..
come watch my car hit something
i disagree with that staement, some people just want to know if theres a shit load of work to do it, or
if its a walk in the park..
sure you do need to be mechanically minded so you dont cut something thats super important like the flux capacitor cables etc.
i would atleast get the brakes recoed.. factory brakes should be adequate enough to pull you up
from any legal speed within the given distances.. if not then they should never have been made.
i agree that its a good idea to fit some new vented discs atleast and quality pads.
put some quality shoes in the rear..done. maybe look at upping the power of the system too...booster/master etc
good luck..
its the cranks that are different..
ones a 6 bolt the others 8 bolt.. cant remember if its the manual 6 and auto 8.or other way round..
but you can buy new flywheels to suit the auto cranks..
HRP - steve hampton in hamilton make them, not cheap but good quality and factory spec.
pretty sure its the same across the board for them, which i think is a stupid idea..
will you be running a single twin throat webber or twins...?
and obviously extractors... just dont make your exhaust too big..
if i were in your position i would:
get it put together with extractors and weber.
get the dizzy upgraded to an electronic
put it on a rolling road dyno..
start on the fuel you wish to use and a plug set.
they can set it up from there
check out the NGK sparkplug site for some good info on choosing plugs by temp range etc..
because its not tuned for 91...if you had it tuned to run on that, then there you go..
comes down to engine condition aswell..compression, spark etc...
you might aswell just blow all ya gas money on avgas
valvoline or mooreys?
i dont know of anyone who would rebuild a head using OS valves, they normally replace with the newer spec gear to run unleaded without an additive
if its got new valves in it you can run 91 without damaging the seats..
you probably wont get much gain from running 96 or 98 to be honest..
unless you get it dyno tuned to get the max out of it..
dont expect to rock up to a pump, fill it up and get instant horsepower, it just doesnt happen..
also run the correct plugs for the fuel your gonna run..
most of us speedway guys still run 96 pump gas compared to some that run avgas at $2 something a litre... but i love the smell of it so i may run that one day
rally/circuit racing boys have been doing 4 links and coils for years...
aswell as putting little v8s in them...
www.google.com should have some uk links there
thats what i was thinking...
so should be ok for low boost ae?
towed the stockcar this morning on the trailer, got to 90kph downhill...
along the straights maybe 80kph...so yes it needs more oooompph
