Seeing as I'm over here, I'm thinking of trying to get hold of a chevy small block v8 to rebuild and modify.
BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

Get a '68 Camaro! Ok a Cobra too but don't dare put a chev in that, it has to be a Widsor or Clevland. It's easy to get 400 bananas out of a 351. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Pull the engine out and fix oil leaks and change diff ratio. Put in new retrimed bucket seats. Put a brakeservo in along with bias valve and rear pressure holder for the drums. Basicly get it working right. |

Make perspex windows Have you thought about buying a set ready made? mine were £120 for an entire car which isn't much more than the perspex costs, amd you dont have to worry about it cracking when you cut it. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
