Last August I purchased Rolf's car for what turned out to be a great deal but even then I new that a new begining was going to come. I spent some time driving the car and deciding what needed to be done to make it into my car not Rolf's. I wanted the car to be set up to my tast and my driving style. This build thread will show the changes and the reason behind each one.
The first items will cover the new engine and getting the car back on the road. I will then cover tuning and setting up the MOTEC ECU. After complete road testing and debugging the car will have the body refitted and painted.
Here is how we look today, Notice somthing missing.
The engine Rolf had build was a very strong and peaky motor, my tast run more towards a smooth idle lots of power in the low and mid bands along with good drivablity. With that in mind the old motor was pulled to be replaced with my 306 SBF with Trick Flow heads, a Comp Cam, Stack Injection with a Motec M800 ECU running witout a dizzy.
