Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Some typical compromises/issues common with such dramatic engine swaps, see listing description for details."

His name was Carroll Shelby, and he had many great ideas. One was to put a V8 engine into a small roadster body. He did it, and the result was the legendary AC Cobra. One can't help but wonder if this would have been the type of project Shelby would have done if he had been a younger man in the early 2000's.

This is truly an amazing car & modern day AC Cobra. A big V8 placed into a small roadster, however this one is using items that are in the neighborhood of 40 years newer. The result is 315 whp with 341 lb/ft, all in a car that likely weighs in @ only 3,000 pounds. How fast is it, well imagine a C5 Corvette with basic bolt ons, but with about a 400 pound reduction in weight. So basically the results are what you would expect, amazing.

If you doubt the reliability of this swap, don't. On 8/18 I drove this car home 400+ trouble free miles. I just got this on trade (with some cashon top to me) and I love it, but I need to move it so that I can pay off the loan on the car that I traded away for this one (the value was just too good to pass up). If I didn't already have a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder and 2 MR2 Turbos I would keep this car, but I just can't part with such a historic car as the VR4 Spyder, and I can't afford to keep two high priced cars like this, so I need to get down to the VR4 and one of the MR2 Turbos.

-Included notebook with much of the cars features and history documented
-117k miles on chassis @ time of swap (less than 5k estimated since the swap)
-Under 60 on 01 corvette ls1 engine swap
-Freshly built 700r4 trans can handle 800hp, 3500 stall converter, this is an aggressive, built auto tranny, with a pretty hard 1-2 shift, but I am shocked @ how streetable it is overall.
-Tons and tons of fabrication done to the car and lots of custom work
-Proper bracing added to compensate for the LS1
-IRS ford 8.8 rear diff
-Professionally done 3m vinyl wrap in matte blue metallic (OEM white paint underneath)
-Red interior w/ seats that are in great condition

The pictured wheels have tires mounted that are too tall (in my opinion at least) for the car, but it is still drivable with them. The buyer has the choice between these wheels and tires, or a set of nice Sport Edition 5 spoke wheels in good condition with good tires mounted that are low enough profile to fit better (once again in my opinion).

If you are familiar with engine swaps such as this you will know that few are perfect, and this one has a few current compromises. Some of the electrical items are not functional. There is currently no functional speedometer and therefore odometer, and also the cruise doesn't work. This means the odometer reading is a record of the mileage @ the time of the swap, but based on the previous owner's info, there is less than 5k added since the swap. The car also no longer has power steering, outside of parking lots I actually like this fact, and many will agree, but I wanted to make everyone aware of it. Also AC components are no longer installed (compressor included), and the HVAC system controls are not hooked up. Finally there is a good deal of open space where the gear selector is, and a lot of heat was coming through. I solved this with a couple of packs of wash cloths from Wal Mart. Also likely needs front struts. There is a large crack in the windshield, it is out of the line of vision at the bottom, but it is still there.

I am available to answer any questions that you may have. I also love road trips, so if you would prefer me to deliver to a location ask me and I would be happy to give you a specific quote. I would be happy to assist as much as I can for shipping, but all related costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The car is also available for inspection upon request in Columbus, OH. Once again, this is a no reserve auction, so if you are the high bidder this car is yours.

Newest version of Honda's ASIMO coming to TV on April 15

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Honda's ASIMO robot is moving into its teenage years, having originally been introduced in 2000, and like all teens, it's still learning. The bot has received regular incremental upgrades over that time, and the latest version will premiere on LIVE with Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 15.
The newest enhancements provide ASIMO with improved hand dexterity, the ability to use sign language, run faster, climb stars more smoothly, balance on one foot, jump and more. Honda says other new features will be demonstrated with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on the show.
The ongoing development of ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is being done so that one day it can help humans who require assistance. The current version is 4-feet, 3-inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and is made mostly from magnesium alloy and plastic. A big limit is still its lithium-ion battery that only provides 40 minutes of charge. The robot has not needed human control to move since a previous iteration in 2011, which also improved its manual dexterity. It could even pour drinks.

Glickenhaus's SCG 003 to pack twin-turbo Honda V6?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has made (or commissioned) two vehicles to date - the P4/5 and the P4/5 Competizione - and is now hard at work on its third. The first was based on the Ferrari Enzo and the second on a Ferrari F430, but the third is being developed independently from the ground up. The question, then, is what engine will it use?
Well now we may have our answer as Jalopnik reports that the SCG 003 (as it's known at the moment) will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 sourced from Honda, fitted with twin turbochargers and producing in excess of 500 horsepower.
Honda's J35Y engine produces 278 horsepower in the Accord, 290 hp in the Acura MDX and 310 hp in the RLX. It also forms the basis for the HR35TT racing engine which Honda Performance Development puts in its Daytona Prototype, so if the rumors turn out to be true, chances are that's probably the engine in question - with the possible addition of a hybrid electric assist - but we'll have to sit tight to find out for sure.
