A short bit of 780BHP Dolomite perversion....

Hah, you know it's true! ;)

A friend of mine's just finished putting a stag V8 in his dolly, hes rather proud of it, it's supposed to be quite a hard conversion isn't it?
 
Intriguing - wasn't aware anyone else was up to one at the moment barring myself and Phil's already (as pictured) one, although that is now sans powertrain ;) and having a TVR engine fitted.

Not hard, in some respects - the 1850 subframe mounts line up with one of the Stag ones, moving the other mount back a little.

Do you have any details on the conversion? It's very VERY complicated if you use a manual box, as you either have to lengthen the nose or move the whole powertrain back a bit and there are numerous clashes.

If it's an autobox then the whole affair is easier. Hope he's done the brakes though! It's a bit of a fight for cooling though and ancilleries, as this picture shows....

And that's in one that's nose has been lengthened by 2 inches :o

Nope, tis a manual. Rather than lengthen the nose the rad has a hole to allow the end of the crank shaft to share some space, the rad was custom made IIRC. I can give him your email if you have any questions?
 
Oh - quarter mile times for the Cosworth Dolly are around 12.3 seconds at 130mph, but that was on the ol' engine. I'm sure it's a tad faster now, and those runs weren't on the gas.

It's recently done a 180MPH speed run, with no problems whatsover and not on full boost, and with no aerodynamic or handling issues. This too was without the N20, and as mentioned not at full power.

200MPH here it comes!


<Burns> Wow! That's a neat trick I hadn't considered. I'd love more details :D. Got any pics? :cool:
