good luck- lots of work ahead- how easy is it to find parts?

Seems Toyota parts are much easier to come across than Honda. It shouldn't be too awful hard, but it sure won't be easy, either. Later, QD.

I used to own this. Converted the crappy Hondamatic semi-auto to a 4 speed, converted the crappy 4x120 wheel pattern to 4x100, bigger calipers/vented rotors up front, 13" Accord steelies, etc, etc. :goodjob:

The guy I sold it to owns a shop in Duluth. Maloof Racing. When I last heard from him he was planning on finishing the engine build I had started collecting parts for and use it as his daily driver. So its probably under a tarp in Gwinnett somewhere.

It's not. And I've heard of no plans for it to be otherwise. He's a member of another forum I'm on. Later, QD.

400 SBC, TH-350, and 3.08 gears. It was high-13s on street tires last time I ran it. (Spinning through first and into second). It has got ET Streets and and a 6AL on it now, but the rear cam bearing spun so the cam and lifters are wiped out. I've got a closet full of parts for it including 3.73s and posi. Shooting for mid-12s with this setup. The car weighed in at 3,760lbs with a full tank and no driver. :no:

Here's our newest project underway...A 1977 Celica GT. It madde it to a few meets last year, and a week or two before the mary alice park meet, a rod started knocking. Now we have built custom tranny and engine mounts, and installed a turbocharged Volvo B23 engine. The engine has been wired for megasquirt, and now we are ready to try to crank it and build our initial map. Hopefully it will be running around at the first JNSF meet in march.

Big_Dave
01-18-2009, 11:01 PM
here's a 1974 Datsun 710 that we hope to something with soon. It has a great running L20b, a 4 speed tranny, and cold A/C. We have a Turbo Tom turbo manifold for the 20b or a vg30 from a 300zx. It's gonna get some Bosozoku treatment and some funky Riced out paint. Maybe?...
