Blown VP

[Ewok]

Hi guys,

Well this isn't my car but it's me mate Ollie's car. He is computer illiterate so I am doing the honors of posting his car on these forums.

This car was a project car of his for a while and you may notice something rather odd ... yes thats a bonet from a Ford 260 BOSS. I reckon it looks pretty mint.

The motor was sourced from the US, its a Supercharged ex NASCAR motor, producing at the time of shipping, 200+ rwkw, he is yet to dyno it. Onboard is a 6spd manual gearbox aswel, hardened suspension all round and an LSD diff to top it off of course. He has also had a decent stereo system installed but I don't know the specifics so I won't bother

I am going to be getting an audio file of the cars exhaust and posting it here sometime soon aswel, as you would swear BLIND this is a V8 unless you didn't already know it was a Blown V6.



















This is still a work in progress and Ollie is about to take off to Europe for a few weeks for holidays. When he returns he has plans for a Yella Terra Supercharger upgrade, which should quite happily push the output up to around 230-250 rwkw.

That pretty much answers it Bloody nice Morton! I felt a little sheepish mentioning what it actually was because I thought someone would come back and say "bull****" hehe

[Morton]

Trainspotters will also notice that the alternator position/mounting and the coil pack position is subtly different from an L67, and entirely different to the standard VN/VP V6.

But who cares, it's a six-speed VP And that's awesome ^_^

[Cobez]

L67!! I like it already

Interesting colour though! Is that an original XR bonnet or a scoop moulded to a VP bonnet?

[Wagon_Wheel]

Its not an L67 coby... close though. Would be moulded fibreglass bulge i would assume.
Looks good though man. Dont mint the color, wheels are average, but should be pretty quick
PLEASE tell me thats not actually on gas though?!
And im quite interested to hear this V6 that sounds like a V8...

[Cobez]

*looks closer* I can't see past the ignition cables and vacuum hoses. Looked like an L67 at first glance.

[cracker]

very creative, got any pictures of the lower intake manifold or the alternator brackets really like it looks great.

Yellow VP + Super6 + 6 Speed = ****in Tuff!


Scoop looks a little large for the proportions of the bonnet for some reason, dot any better angles without the sunlight reflecting on it?

[Ewok]

heh, as far as I am aware, that bonet is the real deal, been made to fit.
Yes it's on gas but MY GOD DOES IT HAMMER. Regardless heh. and yeah, the motor is depicted in the link to that PDF file Morton posted. Nice

[Ewok]

Will have to nick it off him and take it to an undercover car park or something and take some more pics, these were spur of the moment, drunk, have camera, will take pics sorta scenario haha

[STEALTHY™]

Oh gas aye.......i take back my comment, its just average now.

[vn calais manual]

haha gas. tut tut tut. rip that STRAIGHT off lol.

i quite like the bonnet. looks different.

[Ewok]

Was just having another word to me mate and he mentioned that it also has a ceramic clutch ..... niiiiiiiice Also, correction, the bonet is just the BOSS 260 blister added onto the original VP bonet.... my bad.
