Shit even the exhaust half the car here would be illegal

Hey Gary the way I see it,  it would not change here the lower arms are still pointing down so all geometry stays the same I have coil overs in the front so ride height is sorted just some height adjustment I would lose   in nz it’s a 100mm to the chassis, they have done this for years with 350 Chevy’s

one on the right looks nice

worked on the car over the long weekend labour day here nz  pulled the motor out put some 25mm spacers on the k frame removed the brakes, booster, firewall lining ,brake line, fuel lines just to have clean engine bay , fitted the left hand starter kit fits well, modified the bellhouse for starter and trimmed of the other side where the original s…[Read more]

Your right Gary I ask about cutting mine and he just said no not without a lot of paperwork and f^&king around  be all good for a race car

interesting cava but would not be legal here

forgot to mention that I had to tap out 6 bolt holes “total” in the block 4 in the mounts and two for the bellhousing were slightly cross threaded  all perfect now  , got some 10mm plate for the start of the mounts going to cut the x member mounts off and move them back so I can run the air con pump , the motor is sitting back 30-40mm (I’m gu…[Read more]
