Haven't bought, traded, sold anything yet Richard, I'm waiting on Dennis suggestions. No the indy engine is impractical but like everyone its nice to dream about it, bet the sound would be extraordinary. I would like a small block but will have to purchase engine and headers. Could change the...

They sure are beautiful, and I bet the sound at 10-11k rpm is mind blowing. Not that much HP or torque on the low end, your right pretty useless for a street car.

Rick, in 08 we discussed this, I was frustrated as the car was new and uncontrollable for me and far to scary to drive on the street, he told be before I do anything buy avons and he was correct, the tires quit skipping at 95 MPH. In my note I asked options, he will get back with me. Thanks Bob...

I've sent a letter to Olthoff, I take his advice seriously. 400-450 HP no more! Going to talk to friend today about options, he has a 289 with webers in his garage that I don't see going in anything, I,m going to look at all variables. What displacement Bob? Sean the motor is beautiful to...

Yes Jim you are correct, although overheating (the car) has not been a problem. The pressure plate will be one of the first things on the list.

You got me on that! Help me out a little please, what is that? Right now I'm frustrated. Thanks

Then its for sale Doesn't have a distributor or water pump. [email protected]

:) okie dokie

Ok spoke with COMP CAM not crane cam sorry for the typo. Heres the news, not good. There is no smaller cam that will bring torque down, in fact they said it would increase the torque and it would come on sooner if I went with hydraulic lifters and a lower profile, (this is confusing to me???) in...

Mike Trusty suggested years ago a cam type linkage, when I get the intake off I'll investigate that option Jim but really would like drive by wire as then you can add traction and cruise control. :) I bought a GM unit to experiment with. Sent all the information to Crane Cams yesterday, lets...

I'll take them Jim, the check is in the mail. :)

You can count me in for one

Yes sir, but it still would have a crazy torque curve.

HOT DOG! Good for you!

I know Mike you say just don't press your foot so hard, but easier said than done, and believe me when I say I have NEVER had my foot to the floor on this car while under power, maybe to check the if the throttle bodies opened all the way while sitting in the garage. I will call crane cams...

Ha! That brings back memories of when my son went to graduation prom in one of my 12 cylinder cars, I put a throttle lock on the throttle cable so his size 12 foot couldn't get carried away, time flys that was 20 years ago. Yep that would work but still would bug the crap out of me, with limited...

Cam swap would be the least expensive, I have a lot of money invested in this engine. Correct me if I'm wrong but where not the 427 of the original MK2 only 450 HP? Steve I never ran the carbs on this engine in my car, the deck lid would not close because of the added height of the 351W block...

Yes on the limited slip, its a M1 ZF, 12 to 1 if my memory serves me correctly. I run avons, had Yokohama's before and was ready to sell the car before Dennis said buy the avons, they did a great deal to straighten out wheel spin but still on cold days it will bite you if your accelerating hard...

Thats what I thought! How much is a set of headers for 302W Rick?

Sorry Rich, my mistake, its bosch MS3, really a nice efi system with all the whistles and bells. I do like the idea of traction control and actually bought a drive by wire set up for GM, I guess the Davis unit comes with the a the computer and throttle motor? I have mixed emotions, buy a 302w...
