@codyboy560 Sure thing. I'm a big supporter of the sprint car arts. :) Got a link to it? There are a few SL sprints are on youtube now.

@codyboy560 Hi Cody, It is street engine so just unleaded at the pump.

is it plated yet ?

[streetlegalsprintcar]

The new motor is broken in and I came close to getting it registered this last summer but the steering and brakes weren't safe. The test drive was fun but failed to meet minimal safety standards.

I've got an old Gambler chassis in the barn that I've been wanting to do this to for a couple of years now . The one question that I have is how did you get a vin number?

It has a 305 cid? Those work well in Limited Sprints.

[streetlegalsprintcar]

It has a rebuilt 2 bolt 1969 350 Chevy small block in it now with aluminum pistons, high performance cam and 4 bbl carb. The original 305 that it came with took a dump. :)

Alcohol racing fuel not allowed?

[streetlegalsprintcar]

Nope :( Unleaded from the pump.

@streetlegalsprintcar thats when id get a pump gas motor to pass and then swap witha real alky breathin sprint motor

[SHENKLEMAN]

What sort of gearbox do you use ? I am seriously considering building one for road use in Australia.

[streetlegalsprintcar]

It is a small block Chevy bolted to a 350 turbo transmission.

The footage shown is with the 305 Chevy engine but I'm dropping a 350 small block in it soon.

Good luck with your project.

The headlights are under the front bar type bumper in this clip and you can see the brake lights/turn signals on my other vid.

No license plate yet because it isn't ready for the road. I'm dropping in a new motor now and I hope to finish the little things within a few weeks.
