Just a 1600 with mild cam and what you see. No don,t want to sell it. Girlfriend wants a fiberglass street buggy. So if a good deal that needs a motor comes along we'll have one.

Ive ordered 2 from kennedy and they make a hell of an adapter plate not to mention every nut an bolt you need to put everything on. Also if you buy the adapter plate you can get a deal on a stage 3 pressure plate and clutch setup. Thats what im running in my ecotec and its working great.

KENNEDY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS, INC FTW!

Radiator mounted,fans installed,air filter,16 dollar exhaust,and started to make fuel lines.

Bought it at lowes $20 or something like that. Sealed electric box.

You radiators not going to get any flow through it hiding behind your fuel cell.

Thanks. I just looked at Lowes maybe i need to look harder. The radiator has more space between it and fuel cell than it looks. I am going to do something to help guide some air at it.

tw,

you need to get ahold of me sometime, my cousin and I live in massillon and are always out joyriding amish country getting lost. Maybe we can meet halfway sometime and cruise the backroads? We tryyyyyyyyyy to stay out of trouble

Sounds like fun. Me and my best friend used to do that but not for along time now. You have to watch out for those slow buggys.

Cant beat free. That looks like it will work out good.


Kennedy Engineering. I paid 700 for adapter, flywheel and stage 3 clutch. Comes with everything you need to bolt it all on and great instructions and tips.
