BLUE MEANIE

THERE are a thousand different ways you can build a street machine, and an equal number of ways a build can come about. However, the story behind this muscle-bound Falcon is a little more unusual than most, as Peter Radish from Roppo’s Garage in Shepparton explains.

“This build actually started with the engine about 10 years ago,” he says. “Danny Selva of Selva Racing was asked to screw together a Pro Stock-style engine that could run on the street [see sidebar, p.56].”

With a capacity of 424ci, the PULP 98-friendly Dart Little M V8 was built with the best of everything and rewarded Danny with 862hp and 634lb-ft on the dyno. However, it was never fitted to a car; instead it sort of ended up as a really impressive display piece!
