boosted sandrail on a budget
this is kind of an ongoing fun little project, the first one we've done so it's not pretty yet.
specs: 1800cc vw bus engine & transaxle, engine has a 2600cc '914 porsche' stroker kit in it, holley 440 4-barrel carb, unknown chrysler T3 that was laying around the shop, custom tube frame sandrail, 100% fabricated in house.
it needs paint, a boost gauge, and a bit more tuning, and a clutch! hah!
it's fun though!

Re: boosted sandrail on a budget
it idles really well, well except when you change the fuel pump and forget a vise grip pinching the fuel line haha.
seriously though, it seems to run awesome except for a tiny little dead spot before the 2nd butterfly opens which my dad says he can cure. we're also going to paint it so it doesn't rust and ---- and maybe so it looks a little better. heh.
yea once we get a clutch that can handle the power i'm sure it will stand up a lot more. my dad took it up to the pavement last night and stood it up for 2 gears heh
