Just for fun:

A few big updates on the project: The first official outing, Kingman Az Route 66 Street Drags, Oct '21. I was not comfortable with the car, I was not pushing it and it wasn't even close to being tuned. Despite some embarrassingly slow 1/8th times, the car went straight, stopped straight, didn't...

Still plugging away on the project. Register it for it's first official outting & drag race. The Kingman Az Route 66 Street Drags in late Oct of '21. So the crunch is on to get it on the road ASAP in the name of working out the bugs up until the event. Pedals & masters mounting: Roll...

Also, last weekend I got it to make some noise for the first time ever: Then tested out what those pipes are going to sound like: It fired up on my base tune, still have extensive tuning to do. The engine and cams don't naturally have a lope to them, although sounds cool for the video...

Well, alot has happened on the last year and a half:

The plan is to have a fun little street machine. Something I can daily drive, cruise or road trip when I feel like having my teeth rattled out and a ringing in my ear on the regular. It'll see occasional drag strip trips, but I'm mostly going for a street toy. I do have this road trip in mind...

Modifying the supercharger to bolt down to it's new home: Nitrous: BMW E34 265mm clutch & lightweight flywheel, mid 90's BMW getrag420g 6 spd manual trans:

The shortblock is a late 90's BMW 4.4L known as the M62B44, this version of the engine was a 2 year run just before it received variable cam timing. The "vanos" version of the M62B44 has valve reliefs in the pistons whereas this M62B44 doesn't: Also, picked up a dismantler take out early 90's...

Hey guys, here's a little pictorial of my most recent project. A T-bucket with a supercharged BMW V8. Speedway motors '23 standard fiberglass body and a repro '32 Ford grill: Speedway motors bare T frame: Mid 70's Jaguar independent rear end: Rear wheels, American Racing VN502 15" x...

In order to mount the freshly painted hood I would need to reinstall the radiator support. I figured with the cooling system drained and the radiator out of the way I'd get into the engine and play with cam timing again. This time using the special tools necessary to lock the cams in place and...

Thank you!

The hood going in for a respray:

Putting a more traditional front end on the car, with the hood back on. I've decided to mount a hood scoop from an early 80's era mustang. I'm happy with the outcome. Once I'm done cutting up and drilling, the hood will go to get cleaned up and resprayed in a black base and flat cleat to...

That universal 90mm throttlebody just looked and felt cheap, 'cause it was. I decided to replace it with a not so obviously cheap looking piece. I am also experimenting with different TB sizes. 90mm, 85mm, 70mm. According to a TB size calc, a V8 with 3.5" bore, 3.15" stroke and a redline of...
