while i sat at home waiting for a friend to finish the body on my ke10
i realised i had 3 weeks until i would have my license back and start building the v6 rolla i started talking about last year so i thought how could i build something with power that was fun to drive had okay economy and cost jack shit that i could use as a daily driver,in the shed i had a rusted out impala that still had the 307 powerglide with 152000kms that just needed a carby and ignition,so i found a nice 86 wagon for its substantial engine bay and ripped out the motor and box (scrapped for $70 brings cost of wagon down to $110) then bought a 50000volt hei for it($85 complete cheers ebay dsm work great people are just idiots) and had a brand new 540cfm holley street avenger($440) left over from past times(4V clevo xe probably means nothing) bolted it on timed the chev turned the key,was like i shut it off last night idled on the spot no choke at all and its the first start in 2 years.currently have both cars waiting to be mated together just need to move the chev mounts 10cm back and maybe move the trans tunnel but its looking good so far.give me another couple of days and hopefully it will be nearly done. v8s arent really seen as a useful engine when it comes to power and handling anymore but i was aiming for cheap build cost,fair economy,reliability,towing is a factor and a car that would not strain in everyday driving. i will try to work out the build up section when I'm finished and put it in there.

QUOTE (beerhead @ Feb 18 2010, 12:06 PM) Don't get me wrong, your build sounds very cool, and I like people who push the limits. Just remember the only real difference between a rocket engine and a hand grenade is the size of the explosion and the strength of the casing. |
