61 DC - My New Project

Yeah yeah I know, I would love to have it dragging it's arse and nose on the ground but I also want to be able to drive it.

Have the creative rack & pinion in the van and would struggle to have a steering box set-up (especially this one with 180 degrees free play).

Think the red9 will be a good compromise of ride,ride height, brakes and steering

Just did a deal with Al @ Das Resto and have bought (pending payment) the 2442cc turbo engine he had built for his own use.

According to Al it can put out between 200-300bhp dependant on boost which is more than the last Gen3 V8 I had, that should be interesting!

The down side is due to funding limitations we are still a way off from getting the DC on the road but I'm over the moon with the new donk

For engine details have a look in "Parts for Sale"

Why dont you sell the dc to me and put the motor in the panel...

Man that Panel or DC will be a monster with that motor

ByronBus,

Two reasons why I can't do that.....

1. The wife still thinks the dc is hers so she might start asking questions when it's no longer in the garage

2. When it's finished I can die a happy man as (hopefully) it will be MY perfect splitty

Thanks for the offer anyway

PS when it's done and we drive it back from Al's we can drop in to Byron and you can take it for a spin

Thankyou for buying Als motor and saving my life...

Temptation is now removed to buy something my wife would live to regret...

I'll also take a ticket for a ride after install..

Cheers Tony

The gearbox for 3.5k is tempting me.... congrats on the buy, maybe you should grab the box too?

Tony,

A pleasure to be of assistance, only too glad to help.

It's the wifes birthday on Friday so I went home yesterday and greeted her with "Hi babe, guess what I've got you for your birthday!" she took it suprisingly well.

Happy to offer rides when complete.

Warwick

Thanks mate, very happy. More turboed lefties is what we need! (Matty where are you??????)

Gearbox doesn't suit red9 rear end other wise I would have grabbed the complete package
