Should just about be strong enough to handle it…

No mate best it ever made was 508 rwhp, which I think was around 620 fwhp.  If I am in the 700’s I will be happy.  Btw just got told they have spun it up and its got great oil pressure, hopefully make some noise soon.

If it has an 8 in front of it, I may need a medic…

Massive

What’s the cam specs?

If it’s overly large you will blitz past the torque and power delievery and shift it all past 4000+

Humm, well that’s the million $ question.  It should have a 7 in front of it in hp, from there not totally sure. This engine has never been about just power, for me its the torque and the power delivery that makes it so much fun, and tbh a little unique being an NA car. Happy to take guesses and closest shotguns a ride.  I think I still owe Cav o…[Read more]

So a week ends work then

Well its bolted up, first small hiccup, when I changed the reluctor to 24 teeth, seems the corresponding cam sprocket is needed (I had no idea)  Luckily I have a split timing case, so should be pretty easy to swap over.  Everything else is looking good for a full days noise tomorrow…

I reckon its a great skill to learn Cav, and tbh not hard to become good enough to get by.

Just been around to sign the “all care but no responsibility” form.  It is literally sitting at the doorway to the dyno room.  Let’s see if they can get it hooked up and started today, not sure how far they will get.  They have sorted a pair of taller rocker covers for the dyno work.  I am sure there will be issues, but fingers crossed. I feel lik…[Read more]

Mate that drive train in a lighter body should be next level.  What a great build I am sure this will be.  Guess you are right too, be nice for the old Lexcans thread to finish as it sits now.

If you finish this car before mine I’ll be forced to ban you…….

Supposedly dyno tomorrow…    

Gearbox porn indeed…

Holy shit balls, have I been living under a rock or something?  That’s a HUGE development.  Part of me is sad to see it go, but then it makes perfect sense, should piss a few of the euro purists off too…  So a whole new thread, or continuing on with this one, maybe renamed?

The fat bitch is dead, long live the svelt Euro…

Ohhhhhh I like where this is going.

Excellent, Jason is a good operator, I would trust his stuff.

You see Volvo in mine, I see fag in that

Awesome, thanks very much.  Kinda leaning toward this for the plates

Yep, get that ll goog.  Got it happening on Bookface too, how about VLW-304?
