    LOL - Here is the huge "power-plant" in my '63 Nova. The original 194 Cubic Inch in-line 6 putting out a whopping 120HP. ;)

    As I say to the kids, "Quick, to the ice-cream parlor!"

    Heck, 3.2L and 120 bhp. Now that's understressed. Does it also take a V8 with that amount of space?

    Continuing on from my first post, 3.8L and 265 bhp, according to Jaguar. The best view in British motoring....

    Combined with a 1997 (?) Speedmaster and open roads. It doesn't get better than days like these. Cue Matt Monroe...



    Yes, I know that's a Miura but a bit later in the film...

    Cheers, Chris

    I posted this a couple of years ago but it seems appropriate to re-post it here:

    Why not, fits well but, I'm a bit worried about your oil pressure there.... I assume you're filling up with HP1300 at £6000 a litre :eek:

    No, I'm a cheapskate. Shell Helix Ultra @ £10.95 per litre (plus VAT). Pressure at tick-over, just after start-up. is OK (waiting for the garage door to close) 6+ bar when the clog hits the floor.

    Chris - Lots of conversions to small block V8's like a 283 or 327 Cubic Inch engine. Could probably get the HP to 195hp - 250hp. Will keep stock for now as its a full suspension, transmission and rear upgrade along w/engine.

    Great B&W pic of the Speedy in the Jag!!! :thumbsup:

    Just putting forward some alternate acronyms mate. I didn't even mention the cars made on Friday afternoon!! Trust me, I know about such things as you are aware...I have heard stories about coke cans being put inside door panels, etc.

    Cheers, Al

    I hear ya...it's all fun and games (until somebody gets poked in the eye). ;)

    I just heard 'Friggin Old Rebuilt Dodge' for the first time last Friday at the local weekly cruise in (pictured below with my '01 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT)...learn something new every day! :thumbsup:
