Sweet evil I looked at fitting.g something similar a few years back, the problem was getting a drive pulley on the crank with the chassis cross member in the way

Buy it... It will sute your mad max chimp, just think of all those extra nos points.
I would getva spare bonet to customise.
Can this be liked up to a leaver on the gear stick to engage the charger, shame there is no room for a intercooler but you could use an alcohol spay to cool down the charge.
Would look good on your chimp.
How are you getting on with the chassis. Im going to be doing my Taimar this winter.

yes

What sort of internals are you running? I don't know anything about the Rover V8 yet, but I'd imagine NOz and a supercharger would lead to some scary cylinder pressures.

As much as i would love to i dont think i will be going for the full monty hot rod look just yet.
I do plan a twin turbo set up maybe for 2012 but will be happy to run in my new engine and cam and make all the HP i require with the nitrous for next year.
Budget means i am retaining my original crank and rods but should be strong enough i reckon.
I did spend on these tho....

ceramic coated forged pistons



and Peter Burgess has ported the big valve heads, along with bronze guides






the chassis has sat untouched for a while but i plan a big push over the winter....
