I think SCAT makes a SBC V16... They also make a 175ci SBC...yeah V4.

I'll start the popcorn!

sorry... Yes the turbine inlet.

You always post about Matt's car. You would almost think he doesn't like to talk about it...lol That motor sounds SWEET! That car is gonna be quick!!!

mmm... Split housing. KTM, are you going to make a splitter to go over that flat edge on the compresser inlet?

Someone should just yarn their Z and take it on the highway. Along with a chase vehicle and a camera. I'd do it to my Z but it can't drive. I think with a standard xenon airdam that is sealed to the radiator crossmember and the car low enough then stability can be dramatically raised. Here are the plans for me aerodynamic work. Standard xenon poly air dam sealed to radiator belly pan to engine crossmember with splitter bottom of wheelwells completely sealed serious venting of engine bay through fenders transmission tunnel sealed around transmission rear diffuser (W/ fuel cell) front opening closed by half Nascar style adjustable rear spoiler rubber side skirts I think the most important thing to focus on (IMO) is what is causing lift at speed. It's not easy to add downforce to the front end of a Z by adding things onto the body. An airdam is about all you can do other than lowering the snot out of the car. Sealing the underside and redirecting the flow of engine bay air from going underneath the car to the side or top would have more of an effect at reducing lift than adding an airdam alone. Just my .02

mmm...buttery salty popcorn...I can't wait. LOL!

No problem...We just can't wait to sit back and get some popcorn and watch your burnout vid where you burn your tires completely off. I would say it will take about 3 minutes of burnout...Plenty of time to down a bag of popcorn

I have 10 gigs of web storage space and I am uploading some good ones now... All of these are CG...

how about this opel? One of Ernie's Monzas...Suspension seems a little on the soft side. And a road racing vw bug...

Just weld up the internal wastegate and put on an external one. It's just $$$($)!

So is it a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive with a rear tranny(transaxle)and front motor like a Porsche 944?

It is a modern car... http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/magazine/3200.asp?id=13157

google search!

welding overhead...I did it for a whole 10 weeks in stick welding...And a couple weeks in MIG. MIG was way easier to do than Stick in the overhead position. Good job on the stiffining!

yeah...I started that thread A XJ-13 front end would be cool on a Z...Hedlight covers would not be any easier to get though than for a Gnose...

Imagine welding the tubes on the birdcage!!! I wonder how they welded on tubing that thin back then. TIG was still pretty new and OFW (oxyfuel welding) seems too rough for thinwall tubing. It could have been brazed I guess. here is a pic of a birdcage seat framing: Another fav. The Jaguar XJ-13

1.6 Liters being called massive...lol THat does looke pretty mean fast once it gets done.

My favorite race car of all time. The 1960 Maserati "birdcage" tipo 60. I like the ultra lightweight frame design using smaller tubing.

It does say Alfa Romeo on the valve cover...

Chevron B6, Bimmer powered and a chevron B8 Left, Chevron B6 on right

I love the Gulietta 750 spider Alfa very similar but a little more closed up on the front. It is like a mini Ford Cobra...

mmm... Porsche 917k The tube chassis weighs 109 pounds!!! a couple of them in restoration... vintage racing...

cool... ANOTHER racerx...LOL This is the place to find out about SBC Z car swaps! Welcome to the board...
