home build headers and std block. Holley 125hp nos kit.
The firewall is moved about 20" and the
transmission cover is all new.

3600 converter.
Holley nitrous oxide system. I haven't tested it
on the 1/4 yet but it sure gives a punch!
Free flow filter:
Whole interior and dash are fabricated from aluminum
with custom gauges.
Big rollcage is making the car stronger and safer.
Rear axle is from Volvo, 3.91 and 100% lock.
4-links connect the axle to the car.
Shocks are modified to fit from chevrolet
Winter 2008-2009 modifications:
The stock kadett wheel wells only handle 195 wide tires
and they don't deliver much grip so we are installing
MT 28" slicks to get more grip! the car will get new
rollcage and aluminum gas tank with carter afb gas pump
to deliver enough fuel for the chevy's roaring v8.
Slicks fit under the car after the stock wheel wells
are completely removed:
Old tire vs new tire:
The volvo wheels are widened by 2":
The wheel wells and trunk are coming together:
Self weld aluminum gas tank:
Comp Cams 1.6 roller tip rockers:
Carter 100gph race gas pump with connectors:
We need to modify the driveshaft housing
because the rear axle drops in to keep the
rear of the car on normal level:
