Going to pull the engine this weekend

[Bill D]

Decided to change the engine in my GT40. Found a great deal on a new technologies OHC V8, similar to a Cosworth. It would be dumb not to change over and sell the 331.

Our only concern is getting motor mounts and headers for it.

Here is a video of it during a break-in run

[Chuck]

Hey Bill

That was GREAT!

And just think of the great mileage you will get with that new power plant!

:huh:

 

[Allen English]

Dang Bill you almost had me :grinf: Then I realized you where pulling my Lego :shocked:

 

[Rick S.]

got me!

 

[Sandy]

Nice, and I think you will not have any more starter issues with that gem! Lightweight, smooth, yeah, should be a nice fit in the RCR!

 

[Doug S.]

As I understand it, that's a "pneumatic" plastic engine, no combustion, no pollution, no need for headers.

Would be interesting, that's for sure, but Mr. Bill, I sensed a ruse from the get-go. Good one, though!

Tappets are damned noisy!

 

[Jack]

I just tried building one and it flew apart at 200 rpm.... I reckon he superglued the parts together.......

I also had a spare few hours so built this...... (it was bought for my daugher....honest!!!)

No oil leaks? Not related to FE?

 

[Dave]

this video shows just how much power these engines put out.... it's a good job they tested it before taking it to the track, that could've been embarasing.
