Recommended Posts

Right,i am possibly moving down to the south west coast cornwall in the near future depending on a few things...so even though i have just finished al the hard work on the car,i feel it would be wasted down there as there are not many if any jap car shows,supra meets,drag racing etc etc...and the money would come in handy towards a new house...so heres the rough spec as i am probably going to miss loads...

 

the car started life as a 1993 black toyota supra n/a auto...the engine was then changed for a chevy small block 355ci,which is 5.8 litres...

All the parts will take a big big power increase of a supercharger or single turbo if some one wanted to...so whos gonna buy it and stick a t51r on it...@)

if it does not sell i will take with me,but seems a waste as there are not many shows etc etc to go to in cornwall...

 

Cornwall has in fact been celebrating road links to the rest of the UK since 1987....... :p

 

Keep hold of it and have even more fun on the drive to and from the shows :D

Very nice indeed, I would love to own this car, I was wondering about the power figures, the ftlb torque figure seems low for such a big engine, my 305 Chevy engine makes 245 BHP and 311 ftlb and its 25 years old :), do you think that figure was correct ?

 

dean,i went to have the fueling checked,but because the rev counter had not been wired up it was sort of a guestimate at the revs,which was pretty hard as its so noisey,so went of the dyno rpm so dont really know how accurate that is...so could not check timimg either as the msd was playing havock with the timing light,i am also changing back to the 14"x3" air filter as the air cleaner system i made as you can see through the bonnet looks pretty but its zapping the power badly,as the engine before it came form the camaro was 400+...it certainly feel brisk...

Ah that makes sense then, I am sure that set up is making much more power than you have stated, which would have been a good bartering tool if I had the space for another car !

 

I think this car has HUGE potential

 

Stand by my first post though, stunning car and very much one I would like to own
