The British Flying Wedge of Doom

I found this posting while surfing Craigslist. Apparently, some madman put a turboed small-block Chevy 350 engine in a Triumph TR7, for racing purposes. And according to the posting, it also has nitrous.

I'm not sure how this vehicle hasn't died in a fireball yet. This seems like a horrendously amazing idea. It's about enough to make me mortgage my life (yes, I'm a penniless collegian), then buy this and hoon it like mad until it dies (or I die).

Thoughts? NPOCP?

With all those stickers, it's gotta be making 10,000 hp

as I recall, this was a fairly common swap way back when you could find TR7s laying around .

I knew a guy with a 3800 stuffed in there, and that was PLENTY of grunt - I can't imagine a blown/NO2 V8 being anything less than fatal.

Wow... stickers. Someone forgot to tell him when you order stuff from Jegs you don't have to use every single sticker they send you in the mail.

And there is no way that has a turbo anywhere on it. Can't find a single bit of piping running to it. Just a big ole' air filter in one and the scoop in the other.

Craaaackpipe.

Welcome to the world of CL, where "thread" means tread and "breaks" means it stops somewhat I would suppose. . .

Maybe the turbo he was referring to is of the transmission type. . .

The car has an insufficient amount of decals. CP.
