V8 Super Beetle Second Drive, on the way back

Finally got the carb tuned right and I finally took it for it's first test drive! It's a bug body mounted on a shortened S10 frame, th350 tranny, 2,400 stall, and a 400+ hp 383 GenI SBC with vortec heads, 10.39:1 CR, Summit Stage I RPM style intake, 750 Summit carb, isky cam 201278, shorty headers, and 2.5 exhaust to FlowMaster 40 Series mufflers.

Hey don't take it personal, just looks scary! Nice concept though.

@obxforyou Sorry, you never know the tone of how people comment. It's scary for sure. I've yet to open it up all the way. I'll do that one day at the drag strip once it's all finished. Hopefully I wont crash it into the wall. LOL. jk.

S10 pickup frame. Shortened it to fit under the bug body.
