cant wait to see it finished

That is one hot Astra.

BTW nothing new or freaky about fitting any V8 into any small coupe.

I built a 350 chev powered little XU-1 coupe nearly 20 years ago and one of my racing collegues back then had a similar Torana with a chev big block in it.

There have also been at least a couple of older model mini's with V8's shoe horned into them, it all comes down to an individual wanting to do it and of course having the budget to get it done properly..........

my uncle put a v8 in a cooper s.. think he still has it in his garage, along with about 4 other racing mini cooper s'..

still, it's one exciting project..

buy an ss

And be like all the other yobbo morons with an ss? no thanks...

besides, SS commonwhores are slow and barge-like in the grand scheme of things, that astra will be a freakin rocket.


i agree way too much money for me, but if you have the money to do something special....

[InsaneAsylum]

it's good to be different, but purely on value for money and time spent it's a waste. buying an SS would be the practical and cost effective alternative.

you'll be surprised how sh1t that astra handles unless the guy does somethng about the weight distribustion although it will go well in straight line.

I use to drive an SS, allbeit for 4months lol, and i'm not a yobbo moron, bit of a snobby stereo type that one . Isn't this Astra overseas though? So he'd have to look at a Monaro .
