Mate of mine from across the yard, has spent the last 4 years building this contraption in his shed. Powered by a Supercharged Big Block Chevy 8! 520bhp, 900bhp with a pulley change to run more boost. To say it is slightly insane is an understatement, its fcuking bonkers!

Walk through his garage, find this(wonder what he's been up to lol);

Looks a well finished car and I know fook all about them, but how does it not bother the owners fitting a engine from a rival manufacturer, surely a ford engine of similar spec would of been more fitting, I'm not having a go at all I really am uneducated in the subject

yar, 70million sbc's have been made, tuning is unparralelled for em, and tbh fords sb has breathing issues unless you go for alloy heads, and other tweaks.

and if you have a stonechip in your windscreen or a sunstrip, they can fail you on your mot for not having enough visibility, but you could hit a lot of things cos of that blind spot caused by the filters.... but it is a nice car.
