here are some pics this one is Al in his cutlass (16.51 at 83mph) and me in my low budget (Redneck) 74 Nova hatchback (13.52 at 103mph). This is our baseline testing of the cutlass before we really started hacking her up.

the cutlass (soon to be a 442) as we get ready to drop the subframe to put the engine/tranz on it and bolt it back into the 442. you can see right through the wheel wells at this point-yup we did everything in that driveway (at the time: his wife to be's/soon to be father in laws)
notice the oil/crud all over the driveway!
in the background is his (now) mother in law's 96 olds 88 with a 3800 series II that we have been trying to convince that she would get better gas mileage if we "took" her 3.8l and put the 442's 3.1L in her car-so we can have two 3800's!!! Hassen't worked---YET!

these are the later model roller rocker heads for the front 3100 engine-right now undergoing porting and undercut valves to replace the friction rocker heads on the front engine now since the front 3800 is going to be awhile

here is the 3800 after all the porting mods and all the gaskets replaced

So far the whole project has less than $2000 in it and most of that in the custom fuel system, steel, welding supplies.

Future mods include a T04 turbo for the 3.8L (and maybe Nitrous) to help push her off the line, and a DIY EFI MegaSquirt v2.2 ECM to control it at that point (costs the same and is more tunable than a JET chip)
That first ride with both engines had us grinning ear to ear more than enough to make us want to do it again with maybe two Pontiac GTP's! LOL
Seriously though now that Al's 442 is nearing completion I will be doing the same thing to my 87 Chrysler Lebaron GTS 2.2L Turbo I and making it a TWIN 2.2L Turbocharged street Terror--I cant let Al have all the fun can I??
I love modern hotrodding....Redneck Racing!
well what do ya think?!?
