Sounds a beastie!

Let us know how the test drive goes! (Got good brakes?)

There's an original higher quality MP4 version of that on my webspace, here, which will play OK via Quicktime plugin or Realplayer.

Sweet, sounds like it'll do naughty things. Slightly more HP than the river roof

Congrats Pete, what you gonna call it, 666 ?

Looks fast(ish)

Have you booked up Aidan yet

This thing is quick, I mean seriously quick, and fast car quick

Do you know what I mean? No throttle to pull away, up into 3rd at 25 mph and it just pulls. Well impressed. Anyone is welcome to come and have a look and a ride.
Pete.

Even quicker with your mega toolbox removed...

Be there soon

Super fast quick, absolutely effortless performance.
Nice to passenger on the test drive, oh and then toast the installation with a few beers.
Question: Is this the first 3.3 SVX 16"?

Post by **syncropete** » 09 Nov 2008, 19:07

Possibly ?

Now that is an engine worth spending some dosh and putting in the van. Bloody lovely.
Well done Pete.

How much torque does it produce?
A bit of high density foam under the accelerator pedal should help to prolong the life of the gearbox, sounds very nice!

Post by **syncropete** » 09 Nov 2008, 21:07

228 lbft @ 4400 rpm

Post by **HarryMann** » 09 Nov 2008, 21:11

230 ft-lbs, 230 HP ish I think..

Due to dual volume intake plenum, amongst other things, very nice flat torque distribution
