sortedford Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 not kean on the ones ive seen done with this before because of the awful camber on the front wheels and lack of slam pannel, coupled with the heavier engine. I hope this one will turn out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 using custom built wishbones to loose the camber and the all ally duratec v6 weighed in 19.2 kilos lighter than the cast iron rs2000 motor. the front slam panel has been replaced with 1in X 2in box steel making it stronger plus the strutbrace will stiffen up the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloke Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 A very good friend of my owns a company called LATESHIFT RACING he builds from mild to wild hot rods and drag racing cars we wieghed both of the engines complete with gearboxes attached as for the fabrication side not that much has been changed as everything virtually lined up. the wiring was a bit of a pain (bloody PATS ) but now runs fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
