Bill: Try calling Tri-C engineering [661-295-1550]. Rick Cresi is the owner, and could probably modiy them quickly, and at a reasonable price. Rick does some very nice work. If you want to see an example, e-mail me and I will send you a photo of the headers he did for my car. Michael

I looked into the matter little further, and found these rocker boxes came out in the late eighties. They also required a quarter inch spacer between the gasket surface and the rocker boxes. I have a vague memory that there was a minor problem with oil leaks. I hope this helps you.

These rocker covers were produced by Ford Motorsport about 15 or more years ago. They were designed to act as a stud girdle, with the rocker studs protruding through the top of the rocker covers. The required special conical washers. I've only seen one set of them in use, and they seemed to...

I recently finished my ERA build, after more years than I care to tell you. If I can give you any advice, and glad to do so. Feel free to e-mail me at any time. Michael

Thanks for all the good advice. I will give it a shot, and let you know if it works. Michael

After many years, I have finally completed my ERA. I have run into a problem, however, and hope someone else may have an answer. Filling the fuel tanks, at least here in California, is a major investment in time. If you are pumping gas in a regular gas station, the pump continually shuts off...

Ron, one thing you might think about if you plan on running the enduro race is (tire change times). Don't use a spinner but use a big nut and a good air gun. My axle's have auto lock on them, slide the socket on the axle engages the locks and the nut comes off, no socket and the nuts can't...

Tom: I put a dry sump in my ERA, and it is (1) time-consuming, and (2) extremely expensive. Because of time constraints, I simply didn't have time to work on the car myself. I ultimately took it to Tri-C Engineering, which has almost completed the car. If you want some insight into the cost...

Try calling Doug at World Class Motoring at (805) 497-7766. They can get you whatever you need, even a car cover with a picture of your car on it.

Call Tri C Engineering, and talk to Rick Cressi. (661) 295-1550. He did a Set for me.

Wonderful pictures and beautiful car. Out of curiosity, what kind of lap times are you seeing at Willow Springs? I would also like to know what kind of rubber you are running on.

You may want to try autoart. the web address is http://www.autoart.net/. They have what is supposed to be the "replacement" for the original, and it is probably pricey.

Doc: Try these folks: www.autoart.net/ Good luck

Re: Here\'s My Engine Plan. Comments Bill: As long as you’re going to spend the money on aluminum block, you might consider the block with the 8.7 inch deck height. That would allow you to run a 6 inch rod, for a much better rod/stroke ratio. If you intend to run 8000 rpm, you might need...

Re: ERA Build Photo\'s @ Tri-C Andy: Nice car! In fact, that’s my car (ERA chassis 2044). Thank you for posting the pictures. Michael

Built2rev: “Different strokes for different folks.” When I started assembling parts for the engine, many years ago, I made the decision I wanted to build a long rod 302. I guess I had read one too many Smoky Yunick articles. In any event, that’s what I wanted and that’s what I did, and the...

I just received the dyno tests on my engine. I thought you might be interested. The engine is a 302 A 4, with a forged crank, Carillo rods (5.665" long), dry-sump oiling system, Gurney-Weslake cylinder heads, TWM throttle bodies, JE pistons (10:1), and a C. R. Axtel roller camshaft (244º @...
