I'm not running a hood with the blower. The pixs of it with the hood are without the blower on it .

Thanks guys for all the comments, yes it is a cosworth. Car is nowhere ready to be raced. I got the car backhalfed already,the guy that did the backhalfed did a pretty bad job on it. It's not square and it looks like he used a stick welder to weld everything. Planned on redoing the chassy in it in a couple of months. Still have some nice weather here, just want to enjoy it and drive it. The wagon in the avator is also mine. The wagon is more of a drag car. I was looking more for a street car and I came across this hatchback and decided to build this one instead of the wagon.

cool idea :th:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
