So i have been officially challenged. My friend is going to build an electric three wheeler. The potential for him to be very fast is there. Whether or not he makes it to that point is the question. If he does my 300zx V-8 beast may have a challenger. His goal is to beat me.
So i am going to make sure i build a small block chevy that can support diffrent nitrous levels. I couldn't stand the idea of loosing to an electric car, so ill build a 400hp mild motor with a nitrous cam that can support multiple levels of nitrous.
The first step is get my hands on a SBC long block with a two bolt main that I can get splayed for strength.
So i am going to post my info on what castings to look for in the junk yard. Hope this helps some one.

CRX update...
This is the brand new JDM VTEC valve cover on my friend cory johanson's CRX with a JDM B16A.
This is the upper exhaust manifold after we hit it with a couple coats of primer and a high gloss, high heat black.
The engine bay of the CRX, we are almost ready to get out to the track.
Here is the motor opened up while we replace the oil pump, water pump,timing belt and tensioner. Neat looking if you ask me.
We hope to make it out to the Texas mile this year to get my friends feet wet in the amature racing world. I will hopefully be there in something but if that plan fails ill just setup his car. All we have to do now is stick a cage in and a few bushings and ball joints that we have but havnt installed yet.

Z32 300zx intro...
So here is my next project, as if i don't already have enough.
What it needs.
New motor since the old one seized.
Two front seats since the originals are missing.
Rear window glass.
Suspension and breaks need to be given some TLC as well.
It might end up a V-8 bracket racer or it might end up a 650hp twin turbo track day car. The deal was just to good to let go.
Bracket racer.
Small block Chevy carburated.
stock rear end.
Automatic 700R4 racing tranny.
Track day car.
VG30DETT twin turbo motor W/ forged internals and GT28RS turbos.
5spd tranny.
twin turbo hardened rear end.
Ahh, i cant wait. Unfortunately i have many other projects to work on right now.
