Re: Big-Foot's RCR-40 Build Thread - "SuperCar"

Hi Guys,

I'm actually very pleased with the engine. I will be getting hold of Inglese and Comp Cams to talk with them about the valve float and will take the appropriate action to get the useable RPM range up a ways higher..

Dave Engel from Carriage House Custom Automotive designed and built the engine and I am very impressed with the quality of his work..

Since my job has be doing backflips all day and handstands half the night - there just wasn't the time to do the deed myself.

Remember that these are small port heads with small valves - this engine will be very driveable and in the lightweight GT40, it ought to have some very good acceleration.. The 180 degree headers should really help pick it up even further but since we can't fit them on the dyno, there's no real way to test them..

Now that I'm home - I'll work on getting the Dyno sheets scanned and the video captured...

Meanwhile - Here's Ron of R&R Performance tweaking the fuel mixture on the Webers..
