73 BAT Black

So shorter pin to deck height?

Boring an old block an adding boost, without getting wall thickness checked imo is a recipe for a bad time.

The layout and thought process on a few things would have me quite worried. The throttle body piping looks like its been modified by someone with no grasp of basic airflow

You would be right on a natural aspirated engine ,but on a turbo engine we are controlling the psi going in because if you don't you could put 25psi in when all the engine can handle is 14psi.

There's a 40mm Tial wastegate there capable of handling more than enough exhaust gases to limit boost??

 

[uwulff]

Ok, the one that I used, was 43 mm ,not sure what that has to do with anything other that it has to big enough to control boost.

Or the adjustable factory bmw 745i wastegates that I make!

High Bid: $78,000 (Reserve not met)

 

[uwulff]

This proves that 3.0 resto rods can do well !

 

[teahead]

$78k I think, seller should take it.

Interior a bit funky, that chin spoiler, and those floor pans does not make a $100k+ car IMHO.

Would be a riot to drive though.

 

[uwulff]

The floor pans were tig welded in and are 100% Like I said 17 years of ownership never had one bad comet about spoiler.

Reserve not met at 78k? Lol.

I swear bat shill bids cars then hopes for a buyer last minute.

If that was mine I would’ve taken 50 or even 45 for it.

Years ago we were discussing a clone bat-mobile that sold for 150k and we all agreed, did the bidder not get that it was a clone.

 

[teahead]

So it sold on ebay 3 years ago for $44k?

Hmm....

This is an Awesome Machine ! It sure was a lot more appealing at 44K when it sold on ebay 3 years ago, spidered paint and all. 78K RNM ?

Not sure what you mean about believing many of the sales, do you mean you don't believe they really happened/happen?
