7Ltr and Nitros Wedge

[kevin63]

This car came to our South-yorks TVRCC meet today, it's got a 7Ltr Chevy engine in it, and now it has got a 100bhp Nitros kit on it and he is thinking about running the Nitros with a computer controled unit, sometimes some people just can't have enough power, he says this one should be pushing out around 500bhp.

Ahhhh Duke, the legend expands


Has he actually changed the suspension, brakes and got rid of the pram wheels?



The lad really is a charector

Fitting ford escort/fiesta vents onto the bonnet of a tvr has to be the height of poor taste.

500hp, has he detuned it or removed 2 pistons? That aside I certainly wouldn't have the bottle mounted in the cab, far safer in the boot.

any pics of the engine? any vids? It must be as mad as a bag of very mad things.

Ouch: a 7 litre Yank must weight about the same as 2 RV8's . . . So what's up for handling? Or is it a straight line thingy . . .

I believe the expression is 'blinging'...

[kevin63]

I didn't take any of the engine, there is a hell of a lot of chrome about under the bonnet.

Quite right, I could do that with a shiney thermos flask and a bit of hose

Engine pics/specs anybody, that would be nice.

Was this one at wedgefest this year?

[pwd95]

There was a shiney blingy 350i at BBWF & it had all the chrome Eldebrock rocker covers & such but was a standard 3.5 underneath. I was speaking to the owner, he saw the BBWF ad through the club.

Aah - thats the one I'm thinking of then.

7 litres + nitros in a wedge sounds a LOT of fun

The Chevvy V8 is a hot running V8, its probably to keep the thing from boiling!!

It will be at Chatsworth in 2008.

[deetes]

Excellent!!!! Which Chevy? LS? Details, pictures, everything.

As for the rest, who gives a s--t whether it's blingy or not. Nobody's forcing anyone else to do the same to their Wedge.

I thought it was a 7 liter Buick Kev?
