10 SECOND TRANSIT????

[Luke]

so if you could get the weight down to 1 ton it shouldnt be too dificult Laughing

Good luck with the diet.

seriously i wonder what it could be got to - i wonder what supervan 3 weighs

a transit swb like mine weighs 1500kg ish and 300kg is the Di and box

what does an all alloy V8 weigh

If Mick was to build a van yep it would be super light and more than likeley runing a cossie lump on nitrous check his cortina out here during its 04 rebuild gives you some idea as to what I think his vision is

The bloke that built my cossie reackons it weighed less than a Saphire cosworth.

I expect my van to run in the 13's with a mild 460ci, its still got the nitrous bottle mounts in the back too if i get game i MIGHT give it a spray

My vans original weight is 1401kg

to push my van to a flat 10 with good traction and a perfect launch id need around 595hp

The big block im fitting has just over 400hp and i need about 300hp to run a 13

So with the power i have and my weight IF i got a perfect launch my van should run mid 11's

i was thinking about this project a while back, it's a non starter for me really ive got way too many as it is, but..................... if you cut the transit shell off the chassis - as its the chassis thats heavy and put it on either a spceframed chassis or say a granada floorpan then midmounted a 350bhp bmw 7 series or merc v8 or whatever - those big cars you can get for nowt due to excessive running costs then it could be done fairly cheeply couple of grand mabe dunno if it would do ¼mile in 10 secs but it would be fast

what about choppin body from a scooby then droppin tranny shell on it ive got scooby an im bored with it just need a push probably not 10 second stuff but lots of potential!

[transitgeoff]

cossy wont be doing 10secs in a trany to many gear changes i think, iit needs a v8 with a 2 speed,nothing compares on the strip,what ive seen anyway

[dangeeeeerousss]

should power the car along nicely add a supercharger and nos or even quad turbo
