I had a crazy idea the other day of a space framed E30 touring with a blown nitro-methane powered V8 in the back

Yeah, but Dippy's is a rover lump. I'd go 383 chev. Heaps of torque. Or the later ones, but I still think they're single cam. Might just stick to what I've got!zaust wrote:Que Dip's...

Rover V8 my choice- loads lighter than a small block yank and easy to sellotape a Landrover bottom end onto to increase capacity fancied dropping one into my old Mk2 Golf a few years back but I'm a mechanical retard so scrapped the plan!
