Re: JetFire
Don't forget the 'Rocket Fluid'!!! Water/alcohol mix injected post turbo for a little liquid intercooling!

Re: JetFire
Could that be the only factory console-equipped car to have the old style automatic trans shift pattern? (reverse at the opposite end as Park)
Very cool find, by the way. How neat is that technology for 1962?!?!?! Love the youtube commercial, too....bow tie wearing driver giving the car's no-seat-belt-wearing occupants whiplash from the turbo rocket power [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

Re: JetFire
This is the original Jetfire motor that I just rebuilt. I call it ZL-1 "lite". 215 all aluminum snarling cubic inches! 1hp per cubic inch, same power to weight ratio as a 442!
 Turbo almost ready:  Interior just needed carpet and front NOS uphostery:
