[fccool59]

whats in that 202?

[TorqueFC]

not real sure...but im pretty sure its on the giggle gas  

[SRVLIVES]

Hard to tell... too bloody fast to take a photo!

[FC-225]

Congratulations,that is a seriously fast 6 pack,and a very clean car as well.

AL

That's one FAST red motor.

I calculate that at about 400-420HP at the flywheel - serious, serious power from a red six unless it has a crossflow head and many other mods.

Must be silly gas, any specs?

Cheers,

A VERY interested Craig.

I check it out when i attend the nostalgia drags(its always parked near the steps under a carport type shelter?), it is a sensational  car!!  wasnt it for sale on ebay awhile back ??  I also seen it at the nats but it wasnt entered, real nice piece of machinery.  You from the western suburbs Ol' 59?

yeah around keilor way

[craiga]

Old59, so tell us more???

[old59]

yes the car was on ebay a while back but it was just a joke by a couple of mates to scare me.  hi Craig its actually a blue motor with red head but yes it does have silly gas but not that much, other than that its pretty tame look out for my brothers car coming back on the road soon its same paint scheme but a lite green instead it has same engine combo but a much bigger cam and triple stromberg carbs should be good for low eleven sec pass.

Hey Old59,

I'd guess a 150HP NOX kit on a 220HP or so six.

Good stuff, like it LOTS. Must be lots fo fun to drive. Funny, or different, to put a red head on a blue motor. Usually the other way around.

I have a 208 with a 149 big port head, 11-1 compression, triple 45mm Webers, roller rockers, custom grind cam.  You gotta love the NOISE these things make :-)

Cheers,

Craig.

[old59]

pretty close but still a bit much its less thats all i can say have u ever ran the 208 is it in the torrie or the fc and does the xtra cubes come from bore or offset grinding

[fccool59]

what pistons are you running?

[old59]

i used the full kit of acl race series inc pistons which i believe are hq racing pistons

[old59]

can anyone tell me how to put my own pic under my name instead of the cartoon ute pic thanks

[craiga]

Here's a deal - I'll tell you how to do the picture thing if you tell me about your engine  

Fair swap I say!!!

My engine if just bore, no offset grind. I'd looked at 235 stroking with a 221 crank, but stayed away because of power vs torque. I want both, but would rather settle for power with good torque.

I'm expecting a mid to low 13 in my XU1, similar weight to your FC.

Cheers,

Craig

PS: I still LOVE my 149 three speed FC, 1/4 time over 20 seconds. 149CI, 20/60 cam, standard carb. COOL.

Old 59,
         Arrr the secret's of drag racing, only if we all knew the combo so we could all have this much fun. Either getting rich or having a fast car, everyone want's to know how ya did it, funny that. Bloody nice & fast machine too.
