A 218cc CHI 3V headed 351. Engine prior ran a 12.95@105.96mph with cast iron 302 2V closed chamber heads. I've had issues locating a new chassis but heres the new chassis in the build process. I was hoping to complete it in an 8 week time frame btu I've injured myself.



The body (still needs a wash and cut and polish to complete)

Brenden, could you enlighten me on your area?

Probably my dumbest post ever, (and that's saying something) but I couldn't help noticing the lack of trees. My guess is that Australia gets quite dry and you're in the rainy season, thus the grass.
Yet there must be some landscaping techniques that work. Is this is a new housing complex?
Can't believe I posted this, but the curiosity's been killing me.

Can't wait to hear about the CHI results.

I am in Cranbourne, Victoria, Aust. It's a new housing estate my house was the first in the street which I regret. Too much mud being carted around. I can't wait till the houses are completed.

The CHI's are well worth the $ going by the seat of the pants-o-meter. On the dyno we'll find out shortly. Hopefully 2-4 weeks although I've overdrawn the credit card to get the car registered. Might have to sort that 1st?
