Now that's a 240 sedan which isn't underpowered! Nice drivetrain work and custom suspension..... have you made braking upgrades, or not necessary for your purpose built machine?

I've never seen the Group A paint striping on a 4 door sedan..... but I like it! Looking forward to some video from this machine in action.

What’s all done to the axle to hold the power?

permavirgin777 · 06-01-2020, 10:17 PM

Very nice.

Curious to know what has been done to the axle as well.
Is that a Do88 radiator?

Stock 1031 housing with torsen differential,3.15 gears and chrm 4370 axles.
Tilton twindisc with flowcontrol valve and 0.028″ orifice. (We are probably changing to a tripple disc later on.)

Yes a do88 , but we are having some trouble getting enough air through it.
Maybe we try bigger fan and modify to dual pass.
