It will decimate all, after we overnight a few parts from Kentucky.

Its just a plain old dart small block. Its had a little work done to it though.

But it was in the 7's in a car weighing 500lbs more than mine.
I wont be going that fast though.

[PSiedTSi]

I was gonna guess Dart something.

[bubba]

doesnt look like a b18a or b18b to me...

Dart >>>> World

A tall deck in a short wheelbase car..... hmmm, not unless you are driving it!

I want a very light motor to keep the wheel weights correct.

haha, i don't even think i would be man enough to ride along

off track but i just noticed that avatar, fucking epic

[zbrown]

so ah, you make any progress on this thing yet??

[63vette]

Got a jesel drive, pan, etc.. I am still screwing around with fiberglass and shopping for heads and internals. Making a convertible into a hardtop sucks. I have all winter anyway. 1739lbs as it sits now with mockup block, iron heads and glide case. Should come in under 2400lbs

[JN210]

I love your car..

[zbrown]

come on man you need to keep an updated build thread.

I love reading along through good build threads with pics, and this is a sweet project

I hate when people build something and bam there it is... you dont get to see what the did or any of the good stuff along the way

do it for me so i can see what kind of stuff you are doing, and to make everyone jealous, haha

The car is coming along nicely. Where is the 600 horse power ricer wing? :icon_scratch:

Right next to the un-bent linkage that rolls up the passenger window during thunderstorms.

[Grr]

lol!

[Chance91]

That is pretty damn sweet. I like the idea of the custom hardtop and such. Pretty sweet.

No doubt its been answered or I'd ask about weight savings, rigidity/integrity, etc etc gained by ditching the vert parts (unless you just ditched the soft top itself?

Go your car.

I didnt get the convertible deck, top, or frame when I got the car so I have no idea what the stock stuff weighed. The fiberglass top is probably 10lbs and the slickback about 3lbs w/o lexan. The top in the pic is just sitting on the car and not dzused down. Looks bad in the pic, but it fits really well.

[thurmanmerman]

Whats the hole below the rear window for?

Looks good btw.

[GarageAlchemist]

fuel cell?

[63vette]

Yep. Fuel cell and battery access.
