New engine for the old Grantura?

[Fiscracer]

I came across this yesterday and wondered if I could shoehorn it into the MKIII Grantura? I might need a periscope like Jelli needs on his Griffith

I'll buy someone a beer if they can tell me what it is and roughly how much HP?

[ivanhoew]

alcohol drag engine, 2500 bhp ?

[jellison]

Drop the engine mounts a bit - I recon' I could get it in

[Fiscracer]

Well I thought that might take more than a minute...........

2800bhp supercharged Chrysler Hemi - although I was told just one oil seal is original Chrysler. It's still early in development but it goes nearly as well as Jelli's Griffith dragster

0 - 190 mph in 3.8s
0 - 240 mph in 6.3s

It is beautifully built with lots of titanium and kevlar, all in the workshop next to the owner's house

That's always the bit that frightens me about them...

What, that the superchargers or heads have a flair for making dramatic departures?

Best,

The fact that (1) They are likely to depart to points north and, (2) that they are only stopped from going too far by some "fabric" straps.

Its in situ. The Camaro just does not have its clothes on. You can see the titanium bulkhead and rollcage behind the engine and the top of the front suspension

No Andy, rather more radical and rather more brown trousers. It's a complete spaceframe ie no part of any original car is there. This shows it running a different blower
