V-8 510 recent covercar. =~)

I gave that issue to my son in a care package so I don't have it.

Question: Can someone explain or show the firewall on that car? How far/wide/aft was it moved?

Thanks, Dan

Quoting from the article; "Brock moved the firewall in his Datsun 510 a foot and a half to accomodate the Chevy V-8..."

You can't see the firewall in the picture...

yeah it also says he is essentially sitting where the back seat used to be

In reply to patgizz:

Which is about where any good sized gringo would be sitting. I felt like Bubba Smith in Police Academy trying to get into one with seat in the factory location.

Thanks guys. I'm relocating the firewall of a Cortina.

Tastefully....

Does anybody recall the episode of Adam 12 where they stopped Roosevelt Grier dring a Mini? That was a site.

I believe that it was an episode of "CHiP's", and the car was an early Honda 600(?).

They're in a folder on my desktop. Someday.

I put up a picture of the engine but the Supercharger looks purpler than it really is. I'll wait for the final reveal to put some out.

But if you have a plasma cutter and a free weekend....
