The idea of running a big cube v8 is for longevity between tear down/inspections and consistency. This runs gas but if they had turbocharged it the thing would not get traction. Rotaries and small cube stuff is not as consistent, not as easy to get down the track and requires more maintenance.
Would be nice to see the time card / display even. personally , I'm amazed he got it fitting between the frame rails on that LC. Even Holden 308's have a hard time fitting in to Torana LC / LJ's ..
Just saw this, Mark Hayes did he have a beautiful red lj Torana that was on the front of Street Machine in the early 90s? Because that thing was exquisite.
The qtr mile numbers that these power assisted ricer engines are running nowadays is a really big deal for them. But V8s have been running these numbers and quicker and doing it without a lot of difficulty for decades. The reason V8s are still around is they are relatively quite easy to make huge power with (top fuel engine make est.10,000 hp for example, Formula One cars are V8 powered too for more reliability). Simple as that. Bigger engine capacity equals potentially bigger hp with relatively easy effort. Way more know how and effort is needed to make a ricer engine match V8 performance numbers. So kudos to those running ricer engines cos they making the most with such small engines. Whatever floats your boat, we are all petrol heads having fun with cars no matter what kind of car u happen to drive.
Not a patch on the SM Motorsports LJ 202 carby turbo sedan. it makes 500 ... yes 500 rwhp. 800 pounds feet of torque. Daily driven and still does 175mph through the chase!!!!
The main problem with this car is you drive down the street 60 k’s to Tina section you try turning left right it will go straight ahead it is a fucking pain you’ll have to come to almost a complete halt every time
Bram Biesiekierski Lol the rota probs has a massive turbo is well. But hey it will need it . But thats why i like v8s if u have one is big as that u dont need forced induction
God Damn. That’s just beautiful. Full respect goes to anyone who had anything to do with this piece of art.

best tow car ever
Hell yeah! So good to see Mark back out again & what a beast he’s got to try tame now. This thing is going to be fast once sorted out!
Pure v8 cubes. Love it
I appreciate the turbos but can't be a straight cube

Thats awesome using LC454 as the tow car

BARRA Aussie made 2JZ
(Sort of)
Think he is on Centrelink
763 cubes. Fark yeh!!! That would be 10 times the owners IQ!!! BIG SUCCESS! !
LEGEND

No substitute for cubes and that's a lot of cubes
Imagine this thing with twin hair dryers or a big blower, it'd be too radical
I never knew t400 were 2 speed?! only power glides??
They aren't normally two speed but can be built that way. Stronger than a Powerglide in a two speed configuration
ATI build the 2 speed th400 i build chevy transmissions.
WTF, this is a beast full stop, :)

Beautiful car

I cant wait until the ATO start to investigate these people. And they show their rego numbers!!
Fast and beautiful car
Just fukn smoke them rotors mate! respect 😤😤😤

MafiaboysWorld
Obviosly needs more displacement then hahaha
MafiaboysWorld but when the cars sorted out rota’s won’t catch it

Rotor has something like 160 CI. I would be embarrassed if a car with an engine about 1/5th the size came anywhere near this thing.
Bram Biesiekierski take the snail off it and see how it goes.

Anyone know what it ran?
About 12.9 when it lost to a Subaru brumby
6.99sec @ 198mph is Personal Best
