Hi All,
CAV Canada's first customer car is back on the road again after an extensive upgrading and engine rebuild.
We added the new fully jointed wide track suspension, stiffer transaxle mount, revised motor mounts and heat sheild around the carbs. I'll post pics in the technical forums on these.
The engine came off the dyno at 530hp, Angelo has all the data. We're fine tuning the 48IDA's right now so I can't wait to feel how it runs.
The theme for this car is double Le Mans winner s/n 1075 so we've been working on details to bring it as close as possible to that look.
As supplied by CAV in Gulf Racing colours, we've added Black Out Headlight Opennings, Round Driving Lamps with Integral Parking and Turn Signals, Side Marker Lamps, and Orange surrounding Driving Lamp Covers. Small details but huge improvement in looks (and lighting).
On the rear end the only thing new is the angle of the tailpipes. The vents above the tailights and black mesh grilles were done here too.
The Wide Track Kit was developed here on Johns 1076 theme car. Seemslike the Gulf Racing colours are becoming the trademark og GT40s like the dark blue with white stripes on Cobras.
There's been a lot of discussion about ride heights. I like to run the cars as low as practical for the street. 4.25 front and 4.5 rear dry. CAVs suspension geometry works extremely well at this heights.
The wide track suspension kit eliminates all friction and drag in the OEM bushings, includes longer axles and fills out those Gulf wheel arches.
Enjoy the pics (compressed Ron
