Just thought I would post up a quick picture of my newest project.
(IMG:http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh87/camaroz1985/914/PIC-0088.jpg) Its a '75 that I will be building for the $2009 Challenge. There is no engine now, and I am still trying to figure out what I will be using. I think about 200hp should be good enough if I can keep the weight down. I figure I have about $750 for engine and cooling system (or preferably a parts car that I can get everything from). What do you guys think? What are my best options? Who has cheap parts they want to sell to help the cause (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll update this as I progress. |

I already have budgeted the $550 for the Kennedy adapters, and that is not included in the $750 i listed.
What kind of power can you get out of a turbo type IV, and how much will it cost me to get it. If i went that way I would have $1300 to spend, but would prefer to put more into suspension stuff. So what could I get out of one (plus the purchase of the motor) for $1000. |

So what could I get out of one (plus the purchase of the motor) for $1000. Serious question. How long does the motor need to live? Can you run on race fuel? If you are talking about 4 drag races and 4 runs in an autox...then the car show I would say build a carbed 2.4 liter (71*103mm) and put it at 10.5:1 or 11:1 compression. With heads at 46*38mm valves and the rest can be stock (dont yell Jake) that will get you around 150-180 hp if done right..200hp if you have the right heads and camshaft. It will be a tweeked motor that will run for the weekend. I had a similar motor, 71*103 with 13:1 that dynoed at 209 hp... Its a screamer and it lasted a season. Rich |
