After a change in employment & lack of motivation for all things aircooled to a point where I nearly sold the car, a $500 chassis complete with a fresh running V8 engine, all running gear & decent cage is a way to get back to the track sooner rather then later. This direction will disappoint some but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what engine it has, as long as I'm going fast & having fun!
I know how you feel with the lack of motivation etc,a few times I have chucked the towel in with mine also...but as u said,get out there and have fun,yeehaa!!!!!

Much cheaper to run the V8 configuration, what happened to the WPVW chassis set up, would be interested if you are selling.

at the end of the day to have a competive track car " improved production class" cost about $20000 tens years ago didn't matter what brand...

Have you thought about moving the radiator out to the rear, then you will have less trouble with the front bonnet?, aesthetics

I think it's cool by the way!

I always thought V8 conversions were the definition for stupidity, but this is neat!

Keep us informed!
