Title: Partner to help with Vinny (63 LeMans)
Post by: robfrey on December 16, 2013, 07:48:00 PM
Looking for someone to partner with to run the #6363 Pontiac LeMans at Ohio, Maine and or Bonneville.
I stole the engine out if this car for the #496 liner. It has the turbos and intercooler installed that are capable of making 1800hp.
It needs a low compression 9.8 deck BBC with some stout rods, forged pistons, good crankshaft,good flowing set of heads.
This car has already run 215.88 in the mile and driver said that it was very stable. I think it can run 230 pretty easily in the mile.
The best part is that you never have to worry about scratching the paint!

Of course the engine supplier gets to drive it at least half the time if not more.

Hmm... per the photo, you''d only need a common everyday Pontiac 326 to do the job... :roll:

Have you contacted Dave Haller? If he doesn't have a few parts laying around; he may know of a source.
