I gave that issue to my son in a care package so I don't have it.
Question: Can someone explain or show the firewall on that car? How far/wide/aft was it moved?
Thanks, Dan

Quoting from the article; "Brock moved the firewall in his Datsun 510 a foot and a half to accomodate the Chevy V-8..."
You can't see the firewall in the picture...

Which is about where any good sized gringo would be sitting. I felt like Bubba Smith in Police Academy trying to get into one with seat in the factory location.

I believe that it was an episode of "CHiP's", and the car was an early Honda 600(?).

They're in a folder on my desktop. Someday.
I put up a picture of the engine but the Supercharger looks purpler than it really is. I'll wait for the final reveal to put some out.
But if you have a plasma cutter and a free weekend....
