justmental Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 we are hoping to have this done for some time in the year and get to some of the shows. but its down to funds as normal at a rough guess so far we are loking at £10.000 just to get it up and running will be getting it in the workshop next week to remove the engine and start the rebuild. will take some more picture's when i start the removal of this little engine. more picture's to follow soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmental Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) this has gone through varyious state's of tune to where its is now.all work done on this is by the owner who still owns it know it first started with a small block ford and the box chassis and then full tube. then after running a nine on a blown gasgets on both heads time for a new engine so in went the keith black with the little blower. i dont think it was ever in street machine if you find pics of the one you think it is post them and i will let you know if it was it. bet that goes some...... look foward to more pictures it run high 9s with blown head gaskets on the old engine with this engine and the correct tune should put it in the 6's but the chassis is only tagged to 7.50 so will be down tuned but should be touching near to 190mph over the 1/4 mile. the only cheap thing with this is the fuel its under half the price of petrol. but then we have to change the oil after every run and that 2.5 gallons every time. new pics next week when engine come's out Edited February 18, 2010 by justmental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2908642343 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hav seen this car in the flesh last year down in Dartford, when i saw the car ir was owned by a guy who ran a bodyshop business and was being stored in a unit near his workshop. If i remember correctly is has a tublar chassis and all the panels are fiberglass, (if i am wrong) then please correct me. It is a stunning car in the flesh.
