Buick Strait 8 swap....what
 

Back in october, my friend and myself went with my uncle to Maxton NC for a standing mile land speed event to run his 2009 challenger srt8 6 speed (full exhuast,intake,tune,6 pt cage) and saw this creation. from a distance, i saw the one long valve cover and thought "oh he put an old Z motor in it" then i got closer and shat myself.

Pics are courtesy of my friend.---thing sounded awesome. fully built and dry sumped. ran a best of 167mph but has having trouble that day.

AMAZING! at loss of words.

intersting, to say the least

Needs sport maxx wheels and d-max taillights. :ghey:


lol something different that's for sure.

LOL. A couple old white guys built that 240...

what did that motor come out of

1930s to 1950s buicks

This car was covered in Speedhunters. It was built with that motor to run in a specific class at the Salt Flats.

^i saw it on there too. i want to hear how it sounds.

EXACTLY why Karl is the man.

And it shows, the workmanship is lovely.

that is a thing of beauty haha, truly an awesome creation nice find

i found thier website, apparently they had some built Aurora V8 in it and was running 220mph+ at bonneville.
