A friend of mine had a V8 in a Stanza as a rally car
Alloy P76 V8 Rocketship built by an aircraft engineer in sydney , f*cking f*st , but was beaten by a 1200 ute on some stages "the old fella Oges"

Individuality

thanks for the comments guys it might not be everbodies cup of tea..
But atleast its happening in a datto

Im with converted on this one.
There would be a great adrenalin rush blasting down the quater in 10 secs. But wouldnt that adrenalin rush be better for a few laps of some of the best race tracks in the country? Or a hillclimb for that matter.
I wish you best of luck with the conversion & more luck with keeping the 350 cool.

Yeah but anyone can drive for 10 secs in a straight line though.....

No matter what anyone says V8s do the best burnouts. Hell id own a v8 datto over a Ca/Sr powered one. Nothing beats and 8 in my books. So much power without the added hassle of boost or even fuel injection for that matter. A stock 350 would see the 120y lay some nice times if it hooked up and would probably almost sent it skywards. Sure the handling goes out the window but a strong part of me loves drags burnouts and titties. I

I cant help myself fellas in my teens we use to go crazy doing stuff like this some of the best scary rides of my youth were in cars like this .And on my last vsit to melbourne
my brother took me for a ride in his v8 308 gemini just brought back that good fellin.
And most of my mates in melb who are in there late 30,s still have therse v8 toys hidden in the garage .one has a genuine datsun 200b sx with a 302 winsor another has a ford 289 v8 in a corolla ,and a hb torana drag car 350 chev C.O.M.E engine
all awsome rides somethings ya just dont forget

Lotta motor little weight sit in spin. Be a really tight fit in there...

dont understand why you need a 350 to do a burnout...may as well get a kingswood

Geoff that will be an absolute weapon. The 350 is a much better starting point anyhow. More relieable with 4-bolt mains. Easy HP without boost and lots of easy upgrades off the shelf.

I can see a professional burnout car in the making. Go take on Gary Myers. yewww
