that fix is in one of the peterson books, pretty sure they used modified cap scews with a slot milled in the inner hub to allow the outer ring to move ~ Degrees as intended.

Provided some help to guy here in NZ, 202 ci Holden , lawn mower carb. Had to have local knowledge of road to build up speed to overtake others, biggest killer I found was in traffic as it was always the slow guy in a row of other traffic, but yes it was a miser on gas, would have been better to...

I remember there is a very old thread some where on this website. IIRC the Monocoque is quite a bit stronger, *** BUT the whole discussion turned into a shit fight due the the method used at front and rear of the chassis to attach it to a plate that allowed it to be attached to the jig/fixture...

351w were running in UK events in 1967, BUT they were a far cry from production block 351w. They had 'dropped' combustion chamber that extended down into the cylinders and I think they may have had smaller dia rod & main bearings ( not sure on that ), those early events were under Mirage cars &...

Mike Teske might be worth approaching for a T44, they built a few when doing the continuation run of MKIV's, given that ~350 ft ib was the rating for a top loader you might need to apply your 580 ft ib with care, although the R&P might be the weakest link.

Might have more luck talking to someone from Switzerland.

No OZ or SA blocks here, just checked a couple of 'E' blocks I have , neither go thru to water at that above location. However I dont use them for performance builds due to the head stud boss's that go thru to water and lack of metal around main bearing bolt/stud locations. Looking for a Dart...

No, none should go thru to block water jackets, if the block is an old one or had stripped threads repaired a past owner might have drilled too deep to repair, but as new they should not. Choose your gaskets wisely, some cannot be used as there are several pump, timing cover, block combinations...

Post #13 on this thread. Have you ever tried a run down one of the courses on a Bike to see how much it has to lean to negotiate the course?? No cheating, dont use the brake!

Correct on all counts... weight and any induced downforce ( really its centrapental? force, might have to dig out your old principles of flight ). Since the inside wheel has less induced load that is transfered to the now wider-shifted outboard RH tire contact patch the RF wheel thinks it is on...

I wonder if a better ( project specific ) solution might be to move the front/steering wheels on a positive/negative camber arc, this would have the effct of widening the front axle to the outboard tire when under corner loads ( just like a bike when you lean into the corner. )

Your total ignition timing is perhaps more important, that initial timing of 13 deg is OK, but you should check the total advance as well, I think I remember maximum of 36deg at 3000 to check full advance. ( No Vacuum advance hooked up ) You might need to modify the centrifugal advance curve of...

I hate low profile tires and it seems to join that club your obliged to park your car hard against the curb and even bend the rims in the process. However one thing I would like to see is a tyre manufacturer who makes tires with say 15" outer bead dia and say 19 or 20 inner bead dia. That would...

Casey was is/was a past member here, probably 10 or so years ago., IIRC he had T70 with a T10 based transaxle-no reverse- .cant remember off hand who built them.{ Mckee?)

Cliff there are several options & types of timing pointer and locations of TDC, to be really sure you have the correct combination you need to ascertain that #1 piston is at TDC and whichever timing cover or bolt on timing plate you have lines up with #0 degrees at that time. Some of those...

Its more about how you apply the power. The 930 CV joints remove the rotational torque fluctuations that occurs with the normal U-joints when the angles change under power. I would be surprised if YOU damage it given your last comment above.

Run the two coolers in parallel, NOT in series, that way the oil will spend more time in the cooler, any fittings etc should be arranged in a manner that flow will be in the direction reqd without any head to head style setup.

Another reason for not using that block if your searching for high power, they dont like doing that for long...
