Fantastic!

Can't remember if you've posted them before -- what sort of engine specs did you do?

Wow,Wow,Wow!!!
Questions??? Where did you source the sway bar?? What wheel's and tires?? Steering arm's appear offset. Is that to clear the wheels?? Brakes??

Kurt.

Thank Guy’s !

Drew, engine is a trick out 1380cc with many mods, steel billet crank, billet rods, Fidanza flywheel, ported head with Rimflow valves, vernier timing gear, Titan roller rocker, SPVP3 cam, Romac stainless balancer.

Rick, I’m running a newly built Datsun 5 speed gearbox


Kurt, Sway bar I made, 7/8” tube chrome moly. John Brown 14” x 5.5” with Dunlop Direzza tires. Steering arms are offset with 4 piston billet aluminum Outlaw calipers.

Rut, the alternator is a racing 48amp Denzo alternator.

Ah, Jack you caught me on that one!! But I wonder if you see the other inconspicuous chassis mods. You have to look very close?

One must know question, what is the master cylinder coated with and where can I have it done or get the stuff. Miss Agatha asked.

Click to expand...

I see the front cross member between the shock towers has been modified. You now have room for a Datsun engine!:highly_amused:

You need to get a transparent aluminum bonnet for that STUNNING engine compartment!! Almost seems a tragedy to hide it under a standard bonnet!! :smile:

Alan,
do you have a part number for the alternator you used? I tried finding it with the info you provided, but nothing definitive.
Thanks, Rut
