Re: Kiwi scratchbuilt

Fran,

Sometimes I do wonder whether I am ever going to finish it...

The car is being built as a club car. Could be doing circuit work or Targa tarmac rallies. Ride height for each will be considerably different. For the track I am running 65mm ground clearance under the 930 bellhousing, for Targa I would be happier with 100 plus clearance. I would be running softer springs for Targa. If I want to raise the car an inch or two I can do it without cocking up all the suspension angles.

Jac Mac, Thanks, if a 302, I was just going to space it up as a dummy fit. Near enough for my purposes.

Cheers,
