Re: Racing Setup? BBORR 2012 results show 166.661 average, with one way hitting 169.259. So, while feasible they hit 197 at some point during the run, it must have been fairly briefly. Each leg is 59 miles. It's a DRB, with full NASCAR style cage, stroked 351W, MoTEC and stack injection, dry...

Re: Racing Setup? According to the SSCC results site, high trap was 174.2, but they were aiming for a 170 average. Ian

You mean people didn't care for the tongue in cheek joking about the rug the chassis sits on ???

Hi Jim, Figured I'd give you the best reply I can. Rods have been Carillo's bread and butter since 1963. They have pretty much dedicated all of their resources to rods and nothing else, until about 2008 when CP bought Carillo (via Pankl), which brought CP pistons into the fold. Below is...

I hear it both ways, but have seen some pictures with the #2 cap bolts with threaded holes. Ian

Also, if it is an original HiPo 289, the bolts for cap #2 would have threaded heads to accommodate a windage tray. There also might be an ID number behind the starter. Ian

Brian, Best as I can tell by the casting number and date code - 289, cast Feb 4, 1965. If you pull the oil pan, there should be another set of numbers. Those numbers would be the date it was machined. If it is HiPO 289, the only way to tell is the main caps. The con rods will also have...

Darrin, Maybe give Auto Parts Warehouse a call - they list separate items for front and rear 1989 Merkur Scorpio bearings, maybe they have it right? Merkur Scorpio Bearing - Auto Parts Warehouse Ian

Thanks Erik - nice to see my research is pretty on target :) Ian

The requirement that is the toughest to meet is the 850 Nm. The only transaxle that I know of at the moment that can handle that is the Hewland LWS, rated at up to 950 Nm depending on final drive ratio. You could probably get away with a heavily modified G50, G50/50, G50/52, or some of the...

Hey Jon, After spending my youth moving around a bit, growing up on the east side of the Rockies, 5 years in and outside NYC, spending 3 years in Miami, 5+ years outside KC, KS, 2 years in Harrisburg, PA, and finally graduating from high school in SE MA, I decided to head for warmer weather...

The same will happen with the supercooled water - drop some sugar in it, a spoon (tea bag may not work), and the freezing process will begin. I have a small arsenal of some of these tricks at my disposal - that's what you get when you combine a strong science education and tending bar :) Like...

The water supercools - it drops below freezing. And, since the water is often very pure, crystal formation does not start, because there aren't any/enough impurities in the water to allow the ice to form (the molecules actually need to coalesce around impurities like dust particles) and the...

Great project - I did the same around the same age. I'll see what I have - definitely some Israeli, but may also have some from various other locales (Malaysia, Phillipines, Thailand). Send to the shop? Ian

I have heard on more than one occasion that the R230 is like a Ford 9 inch rear, but stronger, and with IRS :) The R230 was also found in the Infiniti Q45. Ian

I've seen more than one source state that a 302W based manifold with spacers sitting on a 351W block will flow better than a 351W manifold. This is based on factory units that had to squash the 351W manifold runners to fit under the hood. I would hope that aftermarket 351W manifolds do not...

You do know that a lot of that can be just as easily said about conservatives, and additionally, who you can marry, who can determine if its time to pull the plug, and others. Ian

Re: 1965 cav gt40 Pannelled spaceframe chassis. As far as the chassis number, you would have to ask the seller. Ian

Re: 1965 cav gt40 This is Fahrad's old GTD. minus the Webers. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-cars-sale/33812-gt40p-you-choose-price-sold.html Ian

Hey Fahrad my Iranian brother! Glad to see you are still around and stirring up trouble :) I see that your old GTD is up for auction on eBay too! Cheers, Ian
