Beast On The Block
 
Found this one on the bay. It's not all Porsche so I posted OT.

Some nice work has been done on that car.

This should be good!

I'm taking bets... will there be more posts about:
A. The girl
or
B. The Chevy conversion
?

They left a few things out.

1) install an automatic
2) repaint it Jet Fockin Black and then Armor All the tire treads prior to the test drive...

She (the girl) looks like she's out of alignment...

Anyone else fin it weird he put a 14" wide rim in the rear with a 245 tire?

I also love car adds with "estimated" HP. Go put the damn thing on a dyno for $50 and get a dyno slip so you can show the confirmed real HP which is probably 75+ HP less than claimed.

The chick looks pretty juicy to me.

Well, assuming that the cam is matched to the intake and carb that thing should be cranking out 450+hp. Otherwise the carb and intake are a bit much for a small block. Why would you spend 70k building a car like that to sell it after 500 break in miles unless you found out that it was crap after 500 miles.

I am probably going to sell my RX-7 when the engine is back in it. I'll break it in tune it and dyno it. Then get a printout of the dyno slip so I can prove the HP rating. Plus, no one believes 80 c.i. is putting that kind of power out.

The car looks well sorted but I agree why sell it with so little miles?

Yep... I was thinking the same thing. I have a hard enough time putting a 345 on my 14" wide BBS's. It could very well be, though, that 245 was all he could get for it, as it's about a 6-8 month wait from Tire Rack for my 345's as they're special order.


It could also just be a typo... cuz I can't imagine how a 245 would fit.
