information on venom 427

[leejleej]

I've taken delivery on a silver venom last month. My overall experience with Brian at team-c has been very positive. There are problems with the car - its not perfect. I've shared my thoughts with Brian and he took my comments in the positive vein with which they were offered. Namely the car (from the manufacturer) needs more specs supplied. That is not team-c's responsibility per se, but Brain has borne the brunt of my ire when I've run into obstactles.
I have zero experience building a car which is why I have a very experienced mechanic do all the work. But even he has been scratching his head on a couple of issues. Ross Sinclair has also been very helpful.
With more complete "Construction Notes" the build would go a lot smoother. Since most people use a combination of 302, 351, 427, T45, c6, that doesnt leave too many permutations. General notes collated from the collective experiences from these builds would provide a point of departure. I would also have headers and tranny mounts that match those combinations. A more precise wiring diagram would also help.
Team-c/performcars might consider hosting a builder forum so guys like myself can swap notes....
Would I buy another venom? Yes, but not in kit form. Perhaps I was too optimistic, but I had underestimated the time it would take to install an engine and transmission.
Judging by the research I've done and the experiences of people on this website, I say that if you have the experience to build a car, the venom is a pretty good technical/price combo.

Cheers,
