​​​​​​The deals he gets at the junkyard are epic especially given it's the Canadian dollar.

Anyway super excited about an update!!

DIY stuff for those who don't have funds and are on a limited budget can build a go fast car, Great stuff and makes the LS stuff feel like tried and true Chevy motors and greasy hands!! Great finds around some of the Salvage Yards!! Lets not forget Ebay and CL...

Awesome build...this was great to follow and see in person. I have also never seen such a long discussion with the track officials following the 10.00 pass.

Great work! Will be nice to see a similar build approach in a lighter chassis. Gotta say there’s something that just feels right when you are doing big MPH in a heavy car. My light weight stuff always feel like it’s going to fall apart!

You see that 2300lb AMX with a bone stock non-intercooled 5.3 with the dinky $124 50mm ebay twins on it? 5.90 @ 118 on 8lbs! Kinda how I thought your chevette would act…

Thanks, the goal for the pinto will be as fast as I can go with a single $180 69mm gt45, hoping in a light car with an optimized setup it will go 8's

This is the pinto from a couple years back, went a best of 9.79@137 with the turbo 4 cylinder. I'll be doing videos of it when I get more stuff accumulated.
