Indirect Injection Diesel (IDI) V8 engines were produced by Detroit Diesel under the GM umbrella from 1982 to 2000. IDIs were more fuel-efficient compared to the big block 454ci gas engines you would find in would find in other GM trucks.

Chevrolet Bel Air Fuelie

Since introducing the legendary 1955 Bel Air V8 model, Chevy has upgraded and created faster many cars. In 1957, Chevy presented the most advanced engine option of all American car manufacturers at the time – fuel injection.

As a performance package for the Bel Air, the “Fuelie” consisted of a special fuel injection induction system that replaced carburetors. The 283 V8 engine had up to 270 HP with standard dual quads but 283 HP with fuel injection. Despite that slight difference in output, the fuel injection option delivered power better and was more efficient than the standard intake.

Hello again...

This... "SPAMON" guy sure is a tough challenge... do i really look like a puppy trying to impress you with my tricks?

JUST LIKE A MUTT?!

He's quite refined talking, so cautious with his movements, injecting VENOM directly to your neck just like as a snake would. Cold blooded animal. Will he give you the same treatment as i could offer? Señorita, don't fall in love with such scum. You need someone who will protect you at all costs, gently taking your delicate hands and guiding you outside the winterstorm of that heart-shaped room you are in. Stepping away from that cell, i would lead you foward to take a seat and enjoy a ride in a red Chevy Impala from 1960, with our final destination, the coast. You can see the waves moving peacefully in the shore while you feel the refreshing breeze of the coast, this thanks to the speed we are going... the hot rays of sun palping your beautiful face will illumine those eyes full of warmth. Such wonderful eyes i can only imagine. Can you hear my strangelove? I would be so lucky to have those eyes on me.

I'm eager to know if you have an specific snack you like? I'd love to please and serve you in any way possible, if you let me. You like homemade food? Are you into sweets, sour, spicy meals? Some grapes and sandwiches sound good for a picnic in this scenario. I can only prepare to impress you with my antics.

It seems we are in different timezones, since i couldn't see your teases right away.

...bark.

LOVE LETTER (CHALLENGER) #3

[colawithamortentia]

Some of my writing:

Darling,

You have always been so inconsequential, haven’t you? A derivative being. A sleepy suburb, a Chevy driven nightmare.

But what if I can make you incandescent? What if I can give you purpose? Lace my words with literature, spike your drink with aphrodisiac. Inject you with my caramel anesthesia. Emancipate you from your impotence. Besmirch you with the scarlet of my lips.

A love affair as constant and as temporary as a luteal phase. A hellish cornucopia. Lingerie made of the silk of a tarantula. A poisonous elixir.

I apologize that I awoke you from slumber. That I put you into this carnal purgatory. That I subject you to this draconian inferno. Libidinous for my artisan fentanyl.

I know you’ll forgive me.

xoxo,

Your undoing.

If You Ain't Cheating, You Ain't Trying...Part Two.

Last time I covered the Penske P2P scandal and the strangely similar Benetton Option 13 from thirty years prior. Today, we're going back another ten years to 1984, and examine how cheating scandals get political: this is the story of the 1984 Tyrrell 012.

The lead shot car.

So, our story begins in 1982, with the likes of Renault and Ferrari (and, with much less success, Toleman) running turbocharged engines. These turbos were marking the end of the age of the British garagistas with their venerable Ford-Cosworth DFV, but a few of the frontrunning Cosworth teams got crafty about it and put up a fight.

Brabham and Williams ran water tanks on their new carbon brakes, ostensibly for cooling, but in reality, the cars were weighed with these water tanks, they dumped them in the race, and then topped off by the time the cars made it to scrutineering by the end of the race. Thus, for most of the actual race, these cars were up to 110 pounds underweight (50 kg).

Just a few years later though, Brabham had switched to BMW, Williams to Honda, and Tyrrell was the last Cosworth team left standing.

The turbocharged engines were getting close to their peak power - over 1000 horsepower with the one-off qualifying units, and still like 800 in the races - so Tyrrell had to get even craftier to stay in contention.

Enter the water-cooled injection system on the Tyrrell 012.

Similarly to the brakes from 1982, this 1984 Tyrrell had a water tank on the engine, ostensibly for cooling purposes, that could be topped off at the last pitstop. Only it seemed like the Tyrrell wasn't just getting filled with water, but with lead shot - 140 pounds of it - and some of that was coming loose as the Tyrrell pulled out of the pits. So, Tyrrell was taking the term "shotgun exhaust" a tad bit literally, it seems.

The real trouble started in Detroit 1984, when Tyrrell's Martin Brundle finished second. That sounds good, except the only problem was...in those days, F1 had much more stringent scrutineering for the podium finishers. And thus, the hammer came down on Tyrrell.

Tyrrell was accused of filling the cars with a mixture of water, lead shot, and benzene.

Thus, Tyrrell was alleged to have, 1: Refueled when refueling was banned in 1984. 2: Used an illegal fuel. 3: Used illegal fuel lines (the cooling lines from the water tank). 4: Had an unsecured ballast (the lead shot).

For these charges, Tyrrell would be disqualified from all rounds, excluded from the championship, and was banned from attending the final three rounds of the season. Furthermore, as they now had no points whatsoever from 1984, they did not qualify for travel subsidies for 1985.

To add insult to injury, FISA fined them for missing the three races they were banned from. Furthermore, as Tyrrell was not an entrant in these races, the other teams - all of which used turbos by 1984 - could unanimously push through regulation changes that benefitted them. Thus, attempts to limit the fuel usage of turbocharged engines were abandoned, 1985 and 1986 would be the years of unrestricted turbos up and down the field.

The writing was on the wall, and by the middle of 1985, Tyrrell would adopt a Renault turbocharged engine.

Thus, was it really about lead shot or illegal fuel or water tanks, or was it about FISA and the turbo teams strongarming the last naturally aspirated team into compliance? I think it was the latter a lot more than the former.

Similarly, the crisis that prompted this whole discussion - the Penske cheating scandal in the 2024 NTT Indycar Series - is that really all about using push-to-pass on restarts at St. Pete? Or is it about the fact that Roger Penske owns the series, owns the dominant Team Penske, and many are dissatisfied with the series' trajectory.

Stagnant regulations, stagnant TV ratings, and stagnant investments. Opportunities to bring Indycar abroad have failed to materialize, Honda is considering leaving and the premier Chevy team - whose engines are made by Ilmor, which Roger Penske also owns! - just got caught cheating. No wonder Zak Brown from McLaren and Michael Andretti from Andretti Global have been his most vocal critics, especially with regards to this scandal.

Michael was calling for Penske to sell the series before all this, now? Well, it's gotten so bad that there was a behind closed doors team owners meeting during this last Indycar race at Barber Motorsports Park.

Forty years ago, a cheating scandal was all the excuse the turbo teams needed to turn against Tyrrell, now, a cheating scandal has only strengthened the battle between Team Penske and the other Indycar teams.

The only difference, I suppose, is that Tyrrell was a minnow, and Penske is the big fish in the pond.

That team meeting at Barber? A day after that, Scott McLaughlin and Will Power crossed the line one-two in a dominant victory for Team Penske.

Tyrrell, meanwhile, were a shell of their former shelves after 1984, and would never win another race.

Next on this miniseries on cheating, we get to the wacky days of old timey NASCAR, particularly the infamous Smokey Yunick.

The 1963 Bill Thomas Chevy Cheetah. The car you see here is one of the original cars from 1963, it’s now one of the most original Cheetahs known to exist and it’s still in unrestored condition. It’s the 4th of the 11 cars made, featuring a fibreglass body and a fuel-injected 327 Corvette V8, an M21 4-speed transmission, and a C2 Corvette differential.

This build series is incredible.

This guy Larry Hofer took an 8.1L early 2000s big block Chevy V8 truck engine (which had fixed cam/valve timing and port fuel injection), installed custom aluminum cylinder heads that he modified to use direct injection fuel injectors, and designed a custom camshaft and timing cover that incorporates a variable cam timing phaser sprocket (both technologies from a modern small block V8 engine).

Then he took a brand new 8th-generation mid-engine Corvette, removed the modern 6.2L direct injected vvt-equipped small-block V8, and found a way to install his custom 8.1L direct-injection-and-vvt-retrofitted big block V8 into the back of it, while using the original engine’s computer, switching the sensors out to trick it into thinking it’s still running the stock 6.2L small block. He also modified the stock exhaust headers to fit the wider port locations on the new engine, used the new 6.2 ignition coils, and made a hybrid 6.2/8.1 crank position sensor.

And while they’re still working on getting it running right, it runs.

There hasn’t been a factory big block corvette since 1974. And now there’s a big block in a brand new C8 (8th-gen). And when they’re done with it, it’ll run like it came from the factory that way.

I can’t wait to see how it drives and sounds when it’s all done, it’s going to be so cool, it already sounds great at idle on the GoPro video

Rare Opportunity: Former GM President John F. Gordon's 1964 Cheetah #002 Prototype - @Hemmings

Southern California native Bill Thomas was among the legion of racers who had tasted victory behind the wheel of a Corvette in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Also a talented engineer, Thomas had experience tuning nearly everything in the Chevrolet lineup for more performance, including the Corvair, the Chevy II, the mighty 409, and fuel-injected Corvettes. With the Corvette’s dominance in road…

The second photo is how they started this air frame with a gas injected quick starter. This unusual quick starter was developed for the intercepter to scramble as needed..

Later they started the SR -71 with V-8 engines from Buicks and then later Chevys called start carts.

I also found a cockpit of the YF 12 both front and aft back.

It’s been 60 years and the SR -71 is still the fastest air breathing manned aircraft in the world.

1957 Chevy

The Legendary “Black Widow” 1957 Chevy: A Piece of Racing History

When it comes to legendary cars, the 1957 Chevrolet, also known as the “Black Widow,” holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts. However, few people know the intriguing story behind this iconic vehicle. In this article, we will take you on a journey through time and explore the fascinating history of the Black Widow.

The Secret Support Behind the Scenes

In the 1950s, car manufacturers were prohibited from directly promoting racing. Nevertheless, behind closed doors, Chevrolet found a way to support the racing community. They collaborated with a company called SEDCO to build a limited number of race-ready 1957 Chevys. Only 18 of these incredible vehicles were ever produced.

Unleashing the Beast

To create the ultimate racing machine, Chevrolet started with the lightest model available, the no-frills 150 utility sedan. They then equipped these cars with high-performance drivelines that would leave their competitors in awe. The Black Widows proved to be astonishingly fast, setting records and securing multiple victories on the track.

Restoring the Legend

One particular Black Widow has undergone an extensive body-off-frame restoration, meticulously recreating its original glory. The attention to detail is impeccable, resulting in a pristine body that is arguably even better than when it first rolled off the factory floor.

Exquisite Exterior

Painted in the iconic Black Widow colors of Onyx Black and India Ivory, the exterior of this restored beauty is nothing short of breathtaking. Every panel is laser straight, and the gaps are precise. There isn’t a hint of rust or damage to be found. The flawless paint job has been polished to a mirror-like finish, allowing you to see your own reflection. It’s like holding history in your hands.

Interior Simplicity

Inside the Black Widow, you’ll find a minimalist design that emphasizes performance over luxury. There are no frills, not even a back seat! The rear windows are stationary, and amenities such as armrests, visors, and even a dome light are absent. However, this simplicity only adds to the car’s authenticity and racing pedigree.

Attention to Detail

No aspect of the Black Widow’s restoration has been overlooked, including the trunk compartment. Painted in glossy white, it exudes cleanliness and attention to detail. A reproduction mat, seat divider, and weatherstrip have been added to complete the authentic look. Even the spare tire matches the original style with its 6 lug pattern and reproduction Firestone tire.

The Heart of a Champion

Under the hood lies a highly detailed engine compartment that exemplifies show-quality craftsmanship. The 283 cubic-inch V8 engine has been built to its original 283 horsepower specifications, complete with a correct factory fuel injection setup. Not only does it look stunning, but it also performs flawlessly. With a responsive throttle and a distinctive idle, this powerhouse truly embodies the spirit of a race car.

A Masterpiece Underneath

The detailed restoration extends to the underside of the car as well. The chassis has been meticulously prepped and painted in a smooth gloss black finish. Every component has been rebuilt, replaced, restored, and detailed to match the original specifications. The Black Widow features front and rear sway bars, as well as the unique duplication of two shocks at each rear wheel for enhanced performance.

A True Muscle Car

With its completely rebuilt brake system, all-new fuel system, and Flowmaster dual exhaust, this Black Widow not only looks and sounds like a classic muscle car but also performs like one. The spotless Chevy Orange engine block, lower plug wire shielding, canister-type oil filter, restored starter, and dated 1957 transmission all contribute to creating an authentic driving experience. The floors, braces, and rockers have been meticulously restored to their original factory red oxide primer finish.
