Got to love racing. Its given the street some sweet options.
Yeah bud, even being a ford I'd bust a nut.

Given the funds, I'd love to drop some muscle on an old school V8 vantage.

You'll appreciate these then. Especially if you have good speakers on the PC.

And a history thing.

One thing they miss in the info on the rebuild of this engine using 460 block is they dont mention if it's oversquare or not.
But would still rock regardless. My fascination with this engine is the oversquare aspect of it though (Bore is wider than the stroke is long.) Just like a japanese bike engine...= high RPM = more power. These things could sit on 8k RPM all day cutting nascar laps.

Please excuse my hijack....again.... ; /

That sounded nice. Was sad to hear that Carroll Shelby died the other day. The only thing better than a pony car is a pony car that's had the Shelby treatment.

 

[shane_h]

I start droolin if I imagine that thing lol.

No Shelby on those though. It was Kar Kraft. Widened and braced the shock towers lowered it put a new scoop on bonnet with manual flap valve and stuck the battery in the back cause there was no room left in the front lol

[DavidS]

Only about your computer, so ya know, not so important. :D Call it a thread OT to something far more important :p

You know about the Code red Nelson racing engines made for Shelby?

Video autoloads... scroll down a little. Has a few settings so the wifey can drive it without ending up in someones house, or pool ect lol.

 

[DavidS]

At 1000+ rwhp I'd be needing that setting to drive it myself. :p

 

[rockerpeller]

i have a computer question... i need a new computer for my tv that i want only as a download/streaming computer to watch movies and tv from the internet. I also want it to be adaptable to all the new smarthome apps that will be continuing to roll out over the next few years.

my questions for all you computer experts are:
1. Should i build a computer specially made for this purpose or should i just buy a pre made computer.
2. Which would be cheaper?

I have never built a computer before but with the internet resources i imagine it cant be too hard. I just want a good computer but i dont game so i dont really need the best computer ever....
