Thread: any Northstar powered rods ?

Tweet

whoooo. I hadn't concidered the rear engine sidewinder configuration, but that is some impressive enginering there. I was thinking more in terms of a more traditional front engine hot rod configuration however. the 80s Camero v-6 bellhousing fits the Northstar engine with a slight modification to one bolt hole, and custom flywheels are available, so the T-5 or whatever std trans can be used. I did some one-off custom work on my Fiero to utilize the 5 speed Fiero trans, but of course thats a mid sidewinder configuration also. this is my Fiero engine/trans package.

I have a 36 Ford slantback that I've already shortened the bodywork 20" with the Northstar power in mind, but my back problems have worsened to the point where I don't think I'll be able to finish that extensive of project anymore. I might pick up a roller of some type that could give the motor a home and be easier for me to complete. we'll see. the 36 would sure make a cool looking rod IMHO however........ kinda reminds me of the old Topolino bodied altereds
