It might be a bit wierd to have a pinto driving the car and an F1 cossie V8 fuel pump fueling the pinto!
Would sound good though 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

As it's a Ford, do you think a Type 9 would bolt on ?

Had a chat with the bloke on the Bloodhound stand at the Gadget Show and he said it needed to shift about a ton of fuel a minute

It doesnt look as though much more than one ton of fuel would fit inside, or does it have drop tanks !!

It's 44 feet long and weighs 6.4 tonnes. The photo is deceptive
