I commented on this thing when it was being built, I never understood the point of it then and am still mystified as to why some one would take a great car, that could exceed 200 MPH and would hold up for 24 hours and do all of that on about 450 HP 40 yrs ago. It resulted in some strange...

I have some 92 5.0 heads that you can have for free but the shipping might be more than buying new heads in UK. Dave

Jup. just so you know, anybody over 5 feet seven inches is too tall. Dave

Hi Dino, your CAV is not overheating, they have plenty of capacity for cooling. CAV, in their infinite wisdom, places the sensor for the fans in the coolant pipe as the coolant leaves the engine. So the fans are on when they don't need to be. The coolant is always hot leaving the engine so...

Hi, that is the original thread, I could not find it to attach this thread, maybe Ron can put them together. Frank, I think that I will be at Goodwood this year but not with Doreen (Frank really liked Doreen!), probably with my new crew chief, Audre'. Looking forward to seeing again. Dave

Thanks Terry and Jim, Terry anytime you are in SoCal, give me a call, I am always ready to show off my projects! Actually that goes for anybody on the forum, if you are going to be in San Diego let me know. Veek, thanks for the tip on FFC, I will call them. Dave

I am fortunate in that have a little stick time in a P51, the noise outside is nothing like the noise inside! Without ear protection it is painful, but worth every decibel! Dave

I tried to find my original post on this project, but could not. I have beenwworking on Panteras and GT40's and my Indy Car was just laying there, I was falling into a state of depression all projects seemd to go on for ever and the sands of time were running out for yours truly. So I shunted...

Everybody is correct, and the engines are owned by Tom Malloy, The Ford was assembled by Ed Pink Engines from parts purchased from Tom Acker, who used to own my Indy Car, the Stewart Warner Special. The second is the Infamous Novi, which is an engine that I have never seen before and it is a...

Where is Mike Drew in this discussion? Mike, get out your check book, this is the car you are looking for. Dave

Ist one is easy, second one may be tougher. Dave

Hi Randy, how is it going? The axles out of my old car were one of a kind, the axles I am having made now are a direct replacement for the CAV original equipment Stub axles that are set up for a 930 CV, They look identical, but are made out of better material and properly heat treated. Dave

I am having some custom stub axles made up to replace the 90 mm Audi stub axles used on many CAV's. This will allow you to run a 930 Cv on the outside of the axle, a huge improvement in strength and reliability. They are custom made by a machine shop that specializes in off road racing and...

Happy Birthday Frank! Beware the evil effects of old age and gravity. Dave

Interesting thread, I listen to NPR and I feel that they are very much a Liberal Organization but I am capable of sorting thru it all and they do some reporting very well. As for Fox News, you can say what you want about them being a pack of Rabid Dogs but the bottom line is that more of the...

Ron, very nice installation. Dave

Don't you love the fact that some people were put upon the Earth simply to amuse the rest of us?

I have always been a dog kind of a guy and have 2 beautiful little mini doxies but I recently decided to get a cat. His name is Maximus.

Another potential problem is the alignment of the throttle blades in the throttle bodies. When the engine is producing a lot of power there can be some deflection of all the component parts. You might want to retorgue the manifold and throttle bodies making sure that everything is not too...

I agree with Jimmy, I have had several RX-7 turbos including a pumped up 93, they were awesome fast and fun to drive and I liked playing with the boost and electronics. My Gt40 w/webers and my Lightning have that wonderful torgue that small turbo or supercharged engines have to make too much...
