what's the other motor?

 

Thanks for stoppin by Vic. That is a question for Steve or Randy, but i'd guess around 325hp

About 2000 miles from Maple Ridge.

Thanks to all

 

Effin sweet man!

That car makes me happy, ya know, down there.

 

Another small block chevy, it is just set up for the different rules. I think i heard a 322 mentioned at one time.

Correct me if I am wrong guys.

 

awesome to finally see it done congrats man. Really sick.

 

This isn't the same guy from Vic_Red's site that needed a kiddie pool to sit in when he checked his thread is it? J/K It makes us all happy down there.

Thanks man

 

For some reason, with the times you mentioned, I am thinking you are under estimating.

 

Yeah, you are probably right

 

Well we got the second event over with more disappointment. We had the motor trouble the first week so in went a new motor. The first pass this saturday gave us a 6.53 which was ok for right off the trailer and with the second pass we had the new engine puke. The nice thing about the whole situation is that this car has still never lost to any car that it has lined up against. The last pass this week that blew the motor was a horrible time but still rolled through the lights ahead of the competition.

I have some new pics that i will post later with the door panels in it. They did a really clean job of cutting the slots for the roll cage.

 

sweet! the unbeaten v8 rwd slobalt! haha

 

Sounds like this guy I know who did that with a Cavalier. Put a 350 in that **** for the strip. haha

 

Have you had a chance to see what the problem is with the new engine???

 

we dont know other than there is no sign of no. 3456 rods ever being in the engine except for a few little pieces. we hardly ever have engine trouble but we have made up for it lately.

 

Does this mean you have a perforated block now???
Hopefully the next engine lasts a lot longer for you.

 

no perforated block. got lucky. but most everything else ruined. put a 289 c.i. in and ran descent at 6.33 but still not what we are looking for. looking for 6 teens at 110. will keep you posted.

 

 

How hard was this to make RWD?

 

Weekend job with a torch and welder and about 40 or 50 ft of spare tube.

 

The most bad-ass Cobalt I have ever seen!

 

did u get the name already gone from the eagles song?

 

yes.

 

Nice ride, probably plenty of work.

 

i'm gonna bring my video camera to the track Friday and get some good quality videos from the burnout box and maybe get one from the far end of the track. You guys gotta hear this motor.

 

thats badass
