I have a buddy in TX... Who had a full road race 240sx...
Well, he got bored with it... And decided to change it into a drag car..
First, he said the axles were too puny for what he wanted... So he did this...
Then, he said to himself... There's only so much you can do with a KA24... But I don't feel like doing an SR... Or an RB... I want REAL power.. So he busted out the tape measure... And said... I think this might fit...
And for those that wanna know how it runs...
Thats goosing the throttle from idle to about 1/8 throttle...
Basic Specs on the car:
406Ci Small Block, 4 bolt main
11.75:1 CR using SRP Forged Pistons
Scat Rods
Balanced And Blueprinted Bottom end
.515 lift / 292 Duration Cam
70cc Ported & Polished heads with Magnesium Valves
CSR Electric Water Pump
Holly Demon 750 Carb
Team G Intake Manifold
Custom Zumi Headers
TCI 2 Speed PowerGlide Transmission with transbrake & Carbon Fiber TransShield
Mallory Electric Fuel Pump
MSD 6al Ignition
As far as how long it took them... about 6 months... And this is NOT a tube frame car... this is a COMPLETE 240sx uniframe underneath it that has been gusseted for extra strength...
Shakedown runs hopefully wednesday night...
And after the first drive around the parking lot... The first words out of his mouth... "We need more tire"...
Oh yeah... a video of it running... RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS OR I'LL HAVE TO PULL THE LINK!!!
