| DIY Altered-Wheelbase Car - Fairlane Funnificatio... | HOT ROD | |
![]() This is kind of a "because we can" moment, as Magnante and Mr. Rich go Match Bashing again, mercilessly hacking an otherwise sano '64 Fairlane into a retro Funny Car There's been renewed interest in altered wheelbase cars lately, and why not? They're sick to look at, fun to drive, and years away from becoming belly-button passe. The few original cars that surface every now and then are too valuable, too frail, or are ridiculously dangerous to be driven or raced, but who needs an original? You can build one yourself, and we're here to show how using basic construction techniques and a little bit of freestyle ingenuity.inline_mediumwraptextright31055682/techarticles/chassis/hrdp_0503_diy_altered_wheelbase_carhrdp_0503_01+1964_ford_fairlane+DIY_altered_wheelbase_car.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: DIY Altered-Wheelbase Car - How To Make Your Own Match Bash Funny Car - Hot Rod Magazine Photo Gallery: DIY Altered-Wheelbase Car - How To Make Your Own Match Bash Funny Car - Hot Rod Magazine |

| Bonneville Speed Week - V=D/T | HOT ROD | |
![]() What happened at the 61st running of the fastest show on wheels. Plus, we explain how Bonneville racing works. By any measure, Bonneville is booming. Since just 2005, race entries are up by 26 percent, with 504 cars and motorcycles hitting the Salt Flats for the 61st running of Speed Week in 2009. Last year, for the first time ever, the diligent volunteers for the Southern California Timing Association and Bonneville Nationals set up three complete tracks on the Salt, leading to 2,488 timed runs. For 2009, the whopping 3,108 timed runs are an all-time record. Officials commented on the staggering number of rookies.inline_mediumwraptextright26684308/eventcoverage/hrdp_0912_bonneville_speed_weekhrdp_0912_01+bonneville_speed_week.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: Bonneville Speed Week - Land Speed Racing On The Utah Salt Flats - Hot Rod Magazine Photo Gallery: Bonneville Speed Week - Land Speed Racing On The Utah Salt Flats - Hot Rod Magazine |

| 2010 Camaro Performance Parts - New Camaro Bolt-O... | HOT ROD | |
![]() Revisiting the HOT ROD Test Car Camaro with ported heads, a bigger cam, and long tube headers Last month, HOT ROD embarked on a mission to run 11s with a brand-new '10 Camaro SS. With a few bolt-ons, Nitto 555R drag radials, and a shot of nitrous, the HOT ROD test car blistered to a best of 11.96 at 115 mph. On the chassis dyno, it kicked out 514 rwhp (on the sauce), up from the stock numbers of 374 rwhp. Off the bottle, the bolt-ons were worth 23 hp and made 397 rwhp. After some practice on the dragstrip, car owner Robin Lawrence power-shifted his way to a best of 12.73 at 108 mph-sans nitrous. This month, we want to see how fast we can make it in naturally aspirated trim.inline_mediumwraptextright31004418/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0912_2010_camaro_bolt_onshrdp_0912_01+2010_chevy_camaro+bolt_ons.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: 2010 Camaro Bolt-Ons - Our SS Receives Upgraded Heads, Cam, And Exhaust - Hot Rod Magazine Photo Gallery: 2010 Camaro Bolt-Ons - Our SS Receives Upgraded Heads, Cam, And Exhaust - Hot Rod Magazine |

| EFI System Conversion - EZ-EFI | HOT ROD | |
![]() We test the new EZ-EFI from FAST Converting from a carburetor to electronic fuel injection (EFI) has always been a bit of a hassle. The number of sensors and the miles of wiring harness, not to mention learning how to tune the sometimes confusing control unit with a laptop, scare a lot of people right back to their carburetors. But FAST's latest creation changes all that and uncomplicates EFI. The EZ-EFI is said to be self-tuning.inline_mediumwraptextrightWe installed the EZ-EFI system on a GM 290hp crate motor (disguised to look like the original 327) in Larry Abel's '65 Malibu SS. The throttle linkage is standard Holley, and the throttle valve cable bracket for the 200-4R transmission was also a quick hookup.26769655/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0912_efi_system_conversionhrdp_0912_01+1965_chevy_malibu+EZ_EFI_kit_install.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: EFI System Conversion - We Install The FAST EZ-EFI Kit On A '65 Malibu SS - Hot Rod Magazine Photo Gallery: EFI System Conversion - We Install The FAST EZ-EFI Kit On A '65 Malibu SS - Hot Rod Magazine |

| First-Gen Camaro Makeover - Retrograde | HOT ROD | |
![]() Revamping our famous project car from the mid-'90s with a gnarly late-'70s/early-'80s vibe. Groovy. Here's a typical hole-in-the-hood Camaro. It sits like a truck. The wheels are dated, the valve covers were hip when Reagan took office, and it sucks enough gas to implode OPEC. This represents everything that magazines, and good taste, have banished for 20 years. All told, it's virtually flawless.inline_mediumwraptextrightWe very nearly went to jail for this photo. Read more about that in Holeshot next month. But true to street machine form, the Crusher now blazes the tires with ease.31002867/projectbuild/hrdp_0912_first_gen_camaro_makeoverhrdp_0912_01+1967_chevy_camaro+street_machine_makeover.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: First-Gen Camaro Makeover - The Crusher Goes From Pro Touring To Retro Street Machine - Hot Rod Magazine Photo Gallery: First-Gen Camaro Makeover - The Crusher Goes From Pro Touring To Retro Street Machine - Hot Rod Magazine |

| 2010 Toyota 4Runner ? Short Take Road Test | Car and Driver | |
