[linadsenoj]

Ya I've heard of people doing that. It should fit nicely, even with the original engine mounts.

[MacHaxxor]

Flying brick!

[linadsenoj]

actually the safari was the most aerodynamic vehicle of it's class.

[MacHaxxor]

I drive a purpleish Safari. I call it my brick =)

At what part of the movie did you recognize it?

[Escaladefreak9969]

3:58 you were turning on to Banister drive off of the main road. if you go all the way till the intersection between Robinson and Banister you will see Good Shepherd school, that is where my boss's daughter goes to school.

[midgetmayo]

[linadsenoj]

No the rear diff. was changed, Quicker shift, and some gearing moding (not sure what my dad did to it).

[midgetmayo]

i was gonna say if it's stock yer gonna kill it i know somebody who went 180kph i think that's like 110 120mph in a neon i know i'm gonna get the whole neons have shitty trans speech but he completly blew the trans up

[midgetmayo]

it's yer dads?

[linadsenoj]

Yes Sir

[linadsenoj]

No, just a rebuilt v6

[midgetmayo]

4.3 right?

[linadsenoj]

Yes, they are good engines. I've seen a custom 4.3L that delivered 1200hp & 700ft ibs of torque. (nelson racing)

[midgetmayo]

what kinda trans?

[midgetmayo]

140??? holy shit!

[midgetmayo]

how fast was the fastest you went in that thing?????

[linadsenoj]

We have brought it up about to 140Mph (2:30 we passed at about 135mph), but really how fast it can go is yet to be determined.

[midgetmayo]

ozzy ozbourne~idon't wanna stop

[firehawk400]

did u do any work to the engine? it sound like its doing more than about 5K.

[linadsenoj]

We Completely rebuilt the engine.

[midgetmayo]

at 03:40 was that a race?

[linadsenoj]

Ya some guy was being cocky at the light when he heard us pull up to the light.

[jonesy1951]

You did well on this. These are truly remarkable vehicles. Best aerodynamics of any van manufactured in that era. Best rust proofing on the market. And you can drop a V-8 into it with no trouble.

Awesome!!!
