It's pretty.

How many people this side of the Pacific even know what a Habu is?

I'm one of the hardliners who think the engine is way out of place.

I guess I'm gonna have to buy one of those new SPF vettes and put a Ford modular in it.

Was it a easy setup?

Blittleton 08-31-2009 09:12 AM

Didn't go for the ford guys on this one, note the placement of the thread. It is not for everyone but what is. If you want something fugly and with a good motor in I would do that with the SPF Vette.

The engine dropped right in, engine mounts and everything fit very well. A little adjustment on the sidepipes. Engine sounds fantastic, looks great in the engine compartment.

SR-71...

Careful with those hub nuts... still waiting on a positive locking system for them.

Jim Kellogg 08-31-2009 10:48 AM

That name covers danger, both on the ground and in the air...

LS7/BDR a.k.a. swapping for a "good" motor
 
It's easy to understand putting the LS in the BDR, but a modular in an SPF GS?? When it already had the "good" motor...

Jerry Clayton 08-31-2009 12:25 PM

Scottj

Just to torque the masses man! Maybe I should just go find a nice 69 Z28 and stuff a Boss302 in it......................yeah, that's the ticket!:LOL:

What are you using for the engine management system?

Blittleton 09-02-2009 10:20 AM

Management system came from Street Performance. Basic GM with a reprogram of the computer to meet my engine specs.

Good link by J.K. If you were stationed on Okinawa, you know. USAF, Kadena, 1986-1989.

Lightingrod 04-07-2016 06:43 PM

I knew "Habu", both versions! It's been a long time since I heard that term. I was never stationed in Okinawa but was in and out a lot! I watched Habu on those little round green TV screens many times. You had to pay attention because it was like blip, blip, blip and gone!

Its a snake germane of Japan, I still remember my Herpetology:cool:

Buzz 04-17-2016 05:49 PM

BAsque, it's also the nickname of the awesome SR-71 Blackbird - which if I'm not mistaken is still the fastest, highest flying jet aircraft ever built.
