Default Finally- Burnout video of LOVE

It took me forever to understand how to convert my videos into the computer and thus onto Photobucket and here. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks!
I hope you guy enjoy seeing that LOVE IS BLUE actually does run.
I know there is a lot of black smoke out the exhaust when I punched it, but this was taken the last day I drove it before I took it apart and found those 2 broken pistons. Enjoy

Hello Glenn
I like the video. It is quite a wild ride. I am sorry for all of the engine woes you had, but I am looking forward to seeing pics of the engine back running again
I love the sound of the blower.....lots of power there

Had a 65 Cobra and boy does that vidio bring back memories. Hard to find words to describe that rear tire breaking loose acceleration. Now if I could only get my 65 327 365HP build to pull like that!

What exhaust do you run on that beast? Muffers? Crossover tube?
Not a big blower out the top blower fan but the exhuast note sounds great..nice low gurgle...and you can't argue with a big blower for raw power....

With all of the black smoke I thought the car was a diesel . Then I read the rest of the post about the broken pistons. Seriously though - awesome!

It's real easy. Put a big 572 block in it, top it off with a huge 8-71 blower and dump un-holy amounts of money into it. EASY!
Thanks gys for all the appreciation. It DOES make the bad times better. Glenn

I'm running a totally custom hand built system I designed, from header until the 4 2-1/2" SS SuperTrapp mufflers w/o any defusers. It sounds like a motor boat with the exhaust just barley at the water level. It's the best sounding exhaust note I've ever heard, in my opinion. I'm VERY pleased with it.

Well I guess there's no duplicating that sound....too bad, I really like it too. The supertraps....no baffles....hmmmm...wonder how just 2 would sound....

Thanks for the pics...good luck on the rebuild...It will probably be even badder..and bluer...
