11-21-2013, 12:19 PM #6I was going to wrap them with header wrap to protect the fiberglass body. It's a 350 Goodrich crate engine with about 500 miles on it. it also came with a race prepared 350 that was in the car but never ran after being rebuilt and sat for nearly 20 years and the brake in lube dried up and sized the engine so it needs to be disassembled and cleaned

I could see some HID projector retrofits and discrete LED lighting really spice it up without looking too tacky

11-28-2013, 11:32 PM #13This is my 300SD after some minor body mods. Still need to drop an OM606.95 in along with a 6-speed manual, but I'm making do with the stock drivetrain for now. We all have to suffer one way or the other.

I found a self learning EFI system with 8 stacks that fits a 350 chevy. The front body work on the manta is made from the original molds of the M8B and the chassis is based off the McLaren's chassis also so with a little body work I could make a road legal McLaren Can-Am racecar with a windshield. I might even make the roof and gull wing doors in to a removable hard top so when it's on it looks like a stock manta.

12-04-2013, 01:10 PM #16I want to make it in to a street legal McLaren M8B Can -am race car. The perfect race car it won 11 out of 11 Can-Am races in 1969 and the 2nd car that year also won 8 2nd places. In 1970 Bruce McLaren died age 32 in the M8D prototype during testing when the rear body work came off at speed. It was the same chassis with different body work.
