It's a Speedway Motors 27 Track T roadster kit.

With a Chevy strait six, webers or hilborn's. A finned aluminum box built around the hilborns W/a turbo setup.

Mated to a T-5 manual out of an S-10.

Front disk brakes W/replica Buick finned drum 'brake covers'

Rear would be a GM 10 bolt (again out of an S-10 fitted with 3.73's and a T2R ( (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). And adapt the G-body aluminum drums to it.

Build a simple interior, and some Hildebrandt wheels with repo cheater slicks on the back....


I just may sell my Comet so I can buy one of these!!



(all of this spawned from simply looking through my fathers Speedway Motors catalog. They are the nations oldest speed shop you know (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Is it hard to keep a carbed engine from starving for fuel in turns?


I never had a problem with my Holley 4150 in the turns, it was under hard braking at slow speeds. The problem was fuel running in from the vent in the top of the bowl and flooding the engine with gas which made it stumble or stall the engine. I turned the fuel bowl levels way down and it helped but on really tight low speed turns I would have to leave one foot on the gas a little bit or raise the idle up to 1500 to keep it from stalling under hard braking. Plus changing jets when it gets real hot and humid was not fun.
