First look at JBL 4.6/BB touring car chassis

[Richard Hudgins]

John M,

Well it is a bit different then the competition chassis, but hardly comparable to your car.

You know John, I really do not know if it will come out of the opening. I need to check.


If it will not I guess we will have to make the front end a tilt-able unit.


Aussie Mike,

You should see it in person. It is scary when on an engine stand.

decooney and John M.

I will speak to the guys about getting a chassis to the WSCB. Just have to make sure that they have one available at that time.

Hey, congrats on building that piece. It looks pretty trick.

I like the SC install. Very clean!!! How is the drive-ability?

Richard,

We've got the Aussie 5.4 motors with Quad cam heads in a lot of the Ford Falcon performance models down here. That motor is even bigger again with the taller deck height of the 5.4. I did a quick tape measure of one in an XR8 Falcon a while back and it was about 900mm across.

I was looking at one stripped on an engine stand and the heads look great but the tight bore spacing was a bit dissapointing. The 5.4 is very under square and there is no room to bore them out any further unless they turn it into a big V twin with two oval pistons.

Cheers

It feels like driving a 2003 Cobra with 1400 lbs less!

I didn't install the Supercharger, it comes stock from the Factory.
Block is IRON, T56 tranny also comes stock and so does the IRS with 3:55s already installed (I am going to upgrade it to 4:10s).
