3men2s Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I had this body for a while and since the box is missing lots of parts i can't make it showroom, so the best next thing, do a scratch build a hot rod. I will be using chassie parts of the oldsbobile pro stock and for the engine, will use the original v4, but with a TURBO upgrade and nitros. let's see what comes out Edited June 2, 2008 by 3men2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3men2s Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 started the bodywork and also started doing the chassie from scratch. this is a photo of the engine I want to put in this project. small but deadly. I was going for the pinto block, but instead I will use a costhworth ford twin cam with a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nice start, but it's not a "V" 4. Those cylinders are in a line "I" configuration. So it would be an I4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting concept, thats gonna look cool....keep the pics comin' its been done quite often just not out of a ford engine that pic of the actual engine isne even a twincam btw but the cosworths are good engine i think they might have been available on the merkurs because that was just a rebadged ford sierra and at least part of the exterior of it is cosworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
