Congrats Stuart, this is one hell of a project to take on! Will be following your updates with great interest :)

 

For the prop/housing stuff it might be worth a chat with likes of calder or DJ Craig as I think they've run the same setup. MVP or WOTM might be another possible contact but think they use the stock trans or TH400.

You'd probably use the T/C for the Powerglide with a custom made flex plate. Personally I thnk you'd be better with a Lenco in it than a 2 speed Powerglide. 2 speeds aren't much for a boosted engine with a big turbo. It needs a BIG N/A V8 really... :) Nice looking spec, good luck with it!

Could also be worth giving Webster Race Engineering a call, they do a lot of jap stuff now and have worked on a lot of the HKS drag cars incl the CRD Supra, as well as working on big yank tanks, so im sure they'd be able to help you out

It must be tempting to put a BBC engine in there with a gigantic blower.

 

NO NO and NO gotta stay 2JZ!

Big Blocks are too heavy,too common and too Yank:p

 

when the rain stops i will take pics and start my projects thread!

speak with Supragold - I believe the bodyshop referred to did his car/were friends of his.

 

Damanc should be able to shed a bit more light also.

 

i thought it sounded like bibby...as they said in one of his mag features he was building something like you have described above...

 

 

good luck with it mate!
