Went for a spin a while back to test my newly fabricated
elbow connector for the lower radiator to engine hose.

It works great so far, and got rid of a major headache in using the Chev 60degree engine.

Have a look

P.S. How about sending some PIC's of your car and the process in installing the V6 Chevy? You have my E-mail.

Nice video. Would like to see more about the conversion.

FYI-did you see the guy in the Audi headed the other way snap his head around and say "Wtf was that?"

My laptop crashed a couple years back and some idiot didn't have his files backed up.... But I'll see what I can find Dan.

Hahahaha at the Audi driver, I had not noticed, icing on the cake!

I'll dig up what I can Nick on the conversion.

It is a very quick car and barks the tires in the first 3 gears, I'm afraid to really hammer it as I haven't gone through the rear axle.


I like fuel injection over carbs, so someone could cut back wiring and plumbing headaches going with a carb.

I'm not happy with my motor mounts or exhaust manifolds and will do something different, but they work so I'll leave them be for the time being.
I'll also move the eng/trans back another inch or so when redoing the mounts.
