Jay Hitchcock Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thanks man. It is looking mean. I just need to finish the body work, spay the flat black primer, brakes, install half-shafts, adjust the suspension, then run her. It is all insured and registered. I'm shooting for ThunderHill on the 19th and 20th of October to make a track running video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sweet looking ride! Looks like a bruiser! Nice work on the chassis and everything. I like the layout of the mechanicals and plumbing. Sweet Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLave Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 gasp... awesome! How far back did you set the motor? I noticed the fire wall is cut out a bit for the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinOlson Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 This car is amazing! It should really clean up on the track. Are you going to upgrade the engine once you get the chassis all sorted out at the track? Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbk240z Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Very nice build you have there. Now, it's time for a smokey burn-out video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Seriously nice Z there Jay. I've seen some other pics of your car with a large wing on the back. Is that still part of the plan? Did you see the windtunnel test section? Pretty interesting stuff in there, might give you some good ideas too, like sealing the radiator to the grill opening and such... Very very very nice job!

Jay Hitchcock Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Holy crap! Thanks for all the posts. Well first of all this car ran for about a year with this motor in there. I bought a "scarab" mount kit, modified the wiring harness, threw in a Richmond five speed and it ran. I hated how nose heavy it became, and how it handled. After the diff blew, I parked the car, yanked the motor and cut the fire wall and trans tunnel out. The motor went back 9 inches and down 1.5inches. As for this motor it is only a test mule. I have a 377ci new Dart Little M, 12.5 to 1 comp, 18 degree heads, solid roller cam, and some nasty internals. My engine builder claims an easy 600hp and around 500ft lbs. That will be going in before next race season. The car is only 2390 lbs at full static but the new motor has aluminum heads, twin disk racing clutch, and magnesium scattershield. This should lose me about 110 lbs. The exhaust is 2.5 inch, 304 stainless steel mandrel formed and tig welded with Magnaflow 2.5 center 6 inch cans. I'm signing off now guys..thanks again.

mario_82_ZXT Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Absolutely mean looking Z! We need foggy burnouts! :burnout: Hahaha, is it going to stay flat black? It looks almost like a stealth car the way it sits and looks. Beautiful car, Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
