and get under way....I have 2 weeks to get a lot done so will upload pics daily.
I will get the car to as near as registerable as possible befor I go back to work.....does anyone know how harsh QLD transport is on superchargers, as I have been told that I should be able to get it registerd as a daily driver with little modification as some Fastbacks in 1967 came with paxtons...1 or 2 at least
cheers
there is a difference between need and want ....and the want is needed
In my experience it all depends on who is on the other side of the bench. I have had some people take a very close look while I have also not even had them look at the car - just accepted the paperwork. Having said that I usually do not hide anything other than making sure I have a full sized steering wheel rather than the a smaller one. This has been the key for me. Overall, QLD is far easier than NSW - just my experience.
You can get a mod plate for it, Dave's E type is a approved with the blower, John Keen approved it based on that fact that we took out a V12 and put in a V8, with less power on paper, hense the need for a blower, did a braking G force test etc, all good.
I was thinking that if you can show you have the equipment that the 390 had then you should be fine. Having said that Shaun's suggested mod plate is the best way to know for sure it is legal.
Boof, I think there would be no issue chargin a small block when you could buy the car with a big block, as long as it meets the brake/ weight test etc, basically how we got the jag legal, of coarse it didnt have 700hp at the wheels that day, it had a parts bin special 350, BM street blower and a 3" Norman (big SU type methenol) carb on it. John looked at the engine mounts, wanted to know the weight differance of the 2 engines, did a brake test.
Hi Boof..I only got the rest of the kit this arvo ...but from what I remember from the research I was doing...you have to move the pump and if you got AC you need to get a special bracket made up....other than that...wet season is settling in and curbing any progression on the Fastback...BUGGER......I wouldnt mind making up a mounting plate for a 351W ...... got a 351 roller block and a few parts for a 427 stroker...now that would be something....but I will stick with the plan for now
