V8 NB

Post by ross » Sun Nov 03, 2013 11:07 am

Had this visit yesterday from Auckland.
A very nice upgrade
It has a LS1 V8 and 6 speed. Big brakes, adjustable suspension,cage etc.
The silver NB looks standard from the outside but sure goes a lot faster than standard and sounds great.

Certainly fills up the engine bay nicely

We stopped on the side of the motorway and had a quick chat last sunday!

copy cat.

Looks like a ton more room in the engine bay than mine, and it most likely cost him a shed load less than the plonkers that did my conversion and looks a mile tidier. :roll:

If there's one advantage of a pushrod V8, it's that they are so compact!
