IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AVERAGE STROKER BUT THINGS GOT A BIT OUT OF HAND.IT IS A 383 SMALL BLOCK CHEV,12.5:1,700THOU ROLLER CAM,BRODIX ALUMINIUM HEADS,1050 ALCOHOL CARB.I WAS AIMING FOR 500HP BUT IT MAY MAKE UP 600HP.IT HASN'T BEEN DYNOED YET AND THE TUNE IS PRETTY BASIC.
I MADE EVERYTHING IN MY GARAGE AT HOME.TOOK ABOUT 5 YEARS HAS BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 2 MONTHS.
IT'S SCARY AS HELL TO DRIVE.

Thats just beautiful!
i need to see this in the flesh
have you thought about coming down to vic for the datsun nationals coz i'm sure there would be a few trophies with your name on it

Hey Dat383 what sort of genetic defect causes one to stuff a 500-600HP V8 on a short wheel base Datsun..........really I need to know, cause I need that kind of defect!!!

That truly defines stupid fast.............folks have been shoe horning V8's into little cars since the V8 was invented , so nothing wrong with that car. Also your fab work is very nice , especially the exahust......looks like something from a Weslake powered F1 car of the sixties.

A qoute from I heard at the track from a newbie in a fast car "it's really really fun and really really scary all at the same time"

Tom

very impressed dat383 very nice piece of work now we can all get along mmm?...without biting each other

ah, another 30yo wannabe racecar!
looks good though.

ps - typing in "caps" is SHOUTING.

HOLY SH*T thats awesome i would kill for a street legal V8 mmm...
nice work mate very very well done
ty

is like you saw what i was dreaming about and made it a reality

Quote:

street legal?
there's no windscreen wipers for starters, and the motor is gone too. There's no mod plate to be seen, and even the manufacturer's plate and compliance plate have been removed. And it is on a trailer...

I don't think it was ever intended to be a street car

I love it too, and it would be fun to have something like this on the road if it were some how remotely possible... The only thing i'm not really too keen on is the massive bonnet scoop... somehow doesn't suit the style of the car... But at least this car actually needs a scoop!!!

The grill is a nice finishing touch too... any quater mile times yet?


Gotta love "move yourself" on the trailer... I think its a little out of context from what the hire place meant (assuming its hired)

He said on teh site while back did 10.2 and cut the motor off at 3 quater track cause it was getting too loose.

Sounds like its need front runners,wheelie bar maybe 4link or something crazy under the back if it doesnt already have it.
