SOHC Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thats a pretty cool project you have, the Chev and Ford Tudors are cool looking cars, do you have a front for it? they should be easy to find and cheep unlike the Ford parts of that vintage. did you weld a steel flange to that cast iron exhaust manifold?

Yeah, I have several complete front clips for it , well just choose the best of whats there, Yea it welded not to bad, I think its some kind of cast steel as opposed to Iron tho or some kind of blend as it sparks when you grind it unlike carst iron but its not like normal steel either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind words people, thought about looking you up last time i was home but things were a bit crazy that weekend, did 1200kms driving with a trailer,went to auckland and picked up a car for my brother (thanks sheepers) then dropped it off in Whakatane and picked up my body shell to bring back down here so by the time all that was loaded/unloaded i was pretty buggered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hp? not really sure , Maybe 500, its like 2 2.5l turbo engines together so that shouldnt be pushing it to much, cant run much boost due to compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Dear uncle Ray Ray, you do great work, you should be well chuffed. Shits looking good man! I was talking to this guy, whos name I cant remember, he has the old celica with the v12 and viper manual, and he was also slapping a few turbs on his one. The word on the street is (and you may have already covered this) that these bad boys cant handle any more than 6psi, so I guess this is what ya'll be running?

Spencer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Looking good ray-dog, you should go column shift for sure. Depending on space its easier to do with a linkage, check out some factory column shifts for ideas, they are real simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja1lb8 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yeah nah that's the one Probably looks a but like this one aye Good mate of brothers , names simon Looking good ray-dog, you should go column shift for sure. Depending on space its easier to do with a linkage, check out some factory column shifts for ideas, they are real simple. pulled out the toyota floor shifter last night for a look and not keen at all , column it is! Accelerator pedal on the other hand looks like its made for the job, toying up whether to use the fly by wire throttles which would mean fitting the all the rest of the accelerator sensor linkage thing, Gunna use a link which says it well support fly by wire but would pay to ring up and ask to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
