Cosmo 20B project down under

Have been helping a friend get his 20B powered Cosmo on the road. Here are some video's of the Cosmo from last weekend.

The engine has just 150km on it so redline is on 5000rpm. Boost is set to 0.5-Bar. It has a 2-speed powerglide fitted with a 4000rpm stall convertor. Its going to be a killer when run in & set up. the 20b should be relaible to tolerate 1.3-Bar of boost.

The CCS monitor even has digital TV on it for that factory appeal

tell that to all the dirt trackers making 400+ and the drag racers pushing well over 800hp thru a 2spd powerglide... this is a 2 speed powerglide... not a 2speed saab/renault tranny

OK, you guys are in the US. mOst of you only think in straight lines, we Europeans are used to track driving, rather than only doing quarter mile runs.
