That.


chevy can't compare...

 

should be a neat build. don't know a ton about the mod motors, but even hanging out in the 300s in hp/tq, they are fun and should be in an s chassis.


ps - buy some sod and use your weed eater, bro. that new house deserves a proper yard to go with it.

 

Yeah, especially being that most my body parts are fiberglass, and the entire chassis is stripped bare.... even in stock form, either engine will be a blast to drive. Throw a decent clutch at it (OEM Cobra twin plates on eBay for $300!!), a lightened flywheel, 7Krpm, she'll be a peacock, I'll have to let her fly.

We have a fully cleared acre and a 1/4, sod would be retared $$$, we're just going to , keep it down, and let it fill in, most in the front is fine, but we have these scrub oaks for trees, and the dead leaves kill the grass around em. Nothing grows in all that excess build sand out front, sod would just die there. That and we got ripped off by the builder on the lanscaping credit, it was supposed to be sodded 20ft out from the house.

If I could get that POS Snapper you see in the pics to run, I'd have it down, right now it's getting kind of crazy.

 

After...



I wish I had a decent pressure washer, and some aluminum stripper, but it's good enough now to keep my hands/work area clean while I mock stuff up. Both engines are next.

 

sub'ed.

looks like it'll be an interesting build.

 

gotcha. yeah, i'd at least throw down for sod on the front end of the house for about 20 feet out. i know all about the oaks though, they're a real pain when the leaves coat the ground and prevent stuff from growing. have your old lady do some 'scapin in the front, throw down some edging and mulch and a few little shrubs, shit's cheap. #boringadultlandscapingtalk

what kinda work has to be done to fit that driveline in there? i assume the shifter can line up decent if you set the engine mounts right, then just need a custom driveshaft?

 

Adult talk? In there? BLASPHEMY!!!

Eh, the shifter sits about 3" forward on the stock location... going to have to do some finagaling to get it right, no biggie

 

I know some people are like "Dang, that's a big ol' engine in a little bitty car!", well, here's some knowledge that I've been sitting on since before I decided to do this swap......

S14 strut towers....



S14 frame rails...



DOHC V8...



Another mans unfinished attempt at this swap...



Eat my shorts nay sayers....

 

subbed

 

You always make rad shit. Gonna keep an eye on this one.
