I have seen this car at cruise nights here in Cranbourne, although it is very clean and well built i think 17.5k is a bit too much.

It is a bit much but with a full engineers certificate its gotta be good, but not sure if it has to go through emmisions testing or if it already has it done. That thing would be a death trap, haha

That sure isn't the path I would take. A turbocharged 3T would make more power and be so much lighter.

There was one in Street Machine years ago, very well built with a blown 383 from memory. Was yellow and green, an absolute weapon!

Craig Parker built that if my memory serves me right. It was a wicked looking beast too. New owner has fitted a Rotary in it.
