Yep, as with any Z that has done this conversion it's now just a shell with 4 wheels for a big, loud and obnoxious American motor!
V8 is so common at the drags, highlights for me were the turbo drag bike and a little RX mazda with massive turbo. I could see the rider/driver had to be talented by whoa when they get on the boost theyre in fastforward! V8s sooo common i was just so-so about em. the Mazda ran 7.4s, good enough to jump about two categories up. It sounded like a wood router though haha.
they're common in big fords and holdens but that counts for nothing cos they're just loud bricks, a V8 Z is like a poor man's GT40, my fave car but I certainly can't afford one of those.
As good as that sounds, nothing can beat those good ol American BB engines ......well apart from those neck snapping rocket/jet powered monsters.
There has been lots of work gone into that car, and lots of time, he made that plenum himself so its not just a buy it and bolt on job. I see the points made about it not being a Zed and agree to most of them but I still wouldn't take anything away from the man, he is doing what most of us would only dream about being able to do. Still looks like a Zed to me and stood in a line up of others with the VG engines you wouldn't know the difference.
