I met Andrew this weekend who wrote the article and drove the car and he happened to be at a small driving event with Bryant the owner on Sunday. In my opinion, the reason there were not more under hood photos is its really not the prettiest motor. It just does the job it's meant to do. Increase torque and horsepower on the cheap. It was a fun day and I took a drive in Bryant's Bav. It is fast and fun. I think he picked the right Bav to do that to. It's not as loud as you would think and has great pickup, especially in 3rd gear. Of course the second we pulled out there was a CHP behind us. But we soon ditched him and saw it's potential. Overall a relatively fun build, that gives results. It was well executed...... it's just a car to have fun in. Nothing more and nothing less (In my opinion after talking to him about it).Pretty lean on underhood photos, is that a "petrolicious" standard?
SBCs were not an uncommon conversion even into the 90's, what with the cost then for an M30 rebuild being at least 2 g's and a crate 350 being about 550 bucks...if you could live with a chebbie in your bav you could live with the flexible steering coupling
Thanks for posting!
. Traffic sucked on a Sunday but the company later was what made it fun. New friends and that kind of thing. As far as the drive goes, you didn't miss much. Another motorcycle rider bit the dust bad, not sure if he made it by the looks of the bike. But, seems every drive now on Ortega is an ambulance on one side of the crest or the other.
