That be FORD power in there

Dizzy is in the front (Ford) Chevy's is back by the firewall

Been a Ford man for years and been thinking a 302 Windsor in the compact might be a go. Just gotta find a rear sump version.

Thats a good buy, good Clevo's and C4s are getting hard to find (i know from experience) , especially when it comes with a BMW body! with that stroker kit it will make a HUGE difference>

I certainly noticed the diff from 351-416.

haha itd prob run rings around me..

im depends how radical of a cage you wont. any thing beyond the b pillar requires a lvv card and the works to drive it on the street. i have some plans for a half cage like mine if you were willing to go that way?

ill have to show you next time i see you.

got my new genuine m-spec bumper mocked up and new 19s the other night

wheels are 5x114.3 stud pattern so will prob just spinn up some adaptors for it.

couldnt help but see wot they were gona look like, soo whilst being horsed as from a day of drinking (uni holidays) i mocked them up and just lowed the car down on the jack to get the right affect.

gota photo on the camera phone, not a wicked clear photo but youd get the idea of it.
