Hi

Finally finished my Nastyboy. I thought it would take 9 months and of course it took 3 years.

1965 BJ8 with 302 Ford V8 puting out 325BHP through T5 gearbox. I have tried to keep it looking as standard as possible from the outside but many modern upgrades under the hood.

Hope you enjoy the photos.When I can figure ou how to link to an album I will post the whole build.

Very nice!! Any idea of the difference in overall weight change? The V-8/T5 gearbox combo should be a great improvement.
 
That's the best bit about the conversion.The engine is at least 150lbs lighter than the straight six and is much lower in the chassis, so the weight distribution is better too.So far very pleased but sadly winter has arrived so she is tucked up in the garage.
