Caprice engine swap?

[kevm14]

Man I need an LQ9.

Yeah I didn't mean any LS-swapped receptacle though those are obviously cool. I like B-bodies.

You probably won't want one of these, then:

Make sure you check out the part where he goes for a top speed run against an R1.

This thing has some serious anti-squat so probably not stock suspension.

The only question I have is how he manages to do so many burnouts without hitting any parked cars or curbs. Must be because it isn't a Mustang.

[kevm14]

Must be because it has proper tire pressures.

FTFY

Also, a couple of comments on the R1 race. It appears the R1 rider is short shifting/not in the ideal gear at lower speeds. This won't change the outcome at the high end, but I believe that the R1 would pull on the Volvo <150. The 1/4 mile trap of 125 for the Volvo supports this as well. The 04 R1 should trap somewhere in the mid-140s.

[kevm14]

Yes I noticed that and I agree. Since it was framed as a top speed run, I don't think it's relevant that the R1 probably destroys the Volvo in the 1/4 mile. Which is why he was short shifting. He wasn't trying to beat him to some distance.

I'm not sure 125 is the real trap speed of the car, but maybe. I guess I thought it would be faster than that given the power and weight.
