    Feels low on power

    The Nada cars are weighed down with air con and power steering which all use the engine to run i believe aswell as all the extra smog gear.... will not be as fast as a GB spec 3500s... more suffocated

    Engine Removal - 3500S

    This is how i did mine. My friend made me a frame from scaffolding. He has put a v8 in a p5 like this years ago. Used a block and tackle and moved the car backwards as we lifted the engine. No ramps etc. Put it back in the same way. Bit tight but worked fine. Just watch the starter solenoid! :)

    New stainless fitted to the V8

    Very nice :) sounds good. I think they sound better with the middle can. Some remove the middle box and they sound really aggressive.. nice but it dosent suit these cars. This is sounding lovely

    New stainless fitted to the V8

    hmm lovely, this is pretty much what ill be doing but keeping the original system in steel and having a new bit of stainless pipe made for the last section... hopefully with a dummy back box just for the original look. Can't wait to hear it going some...don't let us down :)

    LED replacement bulbs/lights

    i'm not really into these LED bulbs or any other bulb that is too bright. Especially when used on headlights etc. I'm putting Lucas sealed beams on mine and fitting some spot/fog lamps to make up the difference. However, i am considering getting an LED bulb for the reversing lights. As this will...

    1969 3500 Series 1 in April Yellow

    Excellent work Fraser. If it works it's all that matters. I spent about a year driving mine all over with different coloured panels, partly sanded bonnet and a reacted roof that would have passed for vinyl with some Halfords satin black on it. But, it went up and down the M6 at fair speeds, up...

    Let's hear your exhaust note!

    Here is mine with the exhaust on :) it seems to be a small bore. All standard spec made from steel. May be getting a new system this year. I'm not going over the top, they do sound spectacular with no muffler but i don't think it suits the car. I'm after something a bit deeper and a bit louder
