Jacked, skyhigh Sidepiped straight axle Gasser with a screaming small block? or low and slow with whites and Elvis on the radio? Definitely low, widened steels, probably white walls. I dont think a small block would fit, was thinking about it till i got it and saw how small the engine bay is. I did see one on youtube with a rover v8 though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looks more like a Fairlane than a Chev, I reckon. Still. It's tiny looking. Big block. (or, K24, slide throttles, Link ECU, back halved.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostchips Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Vauxhalls had fairly decent engines when new didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guypie Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Vauxhalls had fairly decent engines when new didn't they? apparently reliable, but 0-60mph in 28 seconds and top speed of 119kmh so not fast. 3 on the tree is great though! I like the Mr nice guy gasser, thats cool, still not really what im after though hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It will be cool no matter what motors in it. What's the current engine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guypie Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 It is the standard 1.5 with column shift 3 speed. Doesn't go at the moment, but apparently the guy who owned it before the guy i bought it off had it running and driving so it prob needs carb clean, new fuel and make sure it has spark. Then if the stars align maybe it will run again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Maaaaaaaaate, even my fin-tailed 60's Jappa has a 1.9 and 4 on the tree. Cripes! Bloody poms cheaping out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-B Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I would leave the patina paint as is and fix the rust, slam on some steelies and get it running in time for next summer! Would a vauxhall 3.3 six cylinder fit in there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
