side oiler arrived
I got the side oiler delivered Monday by the builder. I hope it runs as well as it looks. I pulled the carbon car home from Austin last week so the fun begins.
It's a '67 with a milodon gear driven Sig Erson cam, 10:1 CR steel crank, lemans rods, sidewinder intake etc. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...bon_home_2.jpg |

Nice!! What kind of numbers (hp, tq) are you expecting? Congrats on both the engine and the car. Sure will be a nice combo.
|
Should be around 500 HP. I didn't want any more than that. It's been run in but not dynoed.
John |
so including this car how many have you bult to date?
(and i'm still working on #1:o ) |
I've owned 4 and not done a scratch build. The Hi Tech had to be disassembled for paint but this carbon car should be much more invloved.
John |
Lokks great, I assume those are MR heads? What kind of cam you running?
|

Saw him today, he told me the build specs, your gonna like that motor. |
i take it from the ambiguity this engine builder wants to remain anonymous and does't particularly need more business?
also i'm engine retarded so bear with me here, will these specs give you good perormance but still remain street drivable? or is this stricly for the track? |
Lineslinger, Yup you know.
Joey, it's for the street. Pump gas grocery getter. John |
Looks good John.
What tranny and gears are you running? |
What air cleaner is that?
BTW I had those nice pent roof valve covers too and they stoped leaking when I replaced them. |

The air cleaner is a S&H from Finishline with a K&N filter. |
I can't take much more drooling, it's getting messy around here!

The motor looks great John. How about some pics during installation?

John,
I don't understand the statement that the carbon car should be "much more involved" to finish versus the Hi-Tech - can you explain? I thought the carbon car was painted with suspension, interior, etc already installed. Thanks and your motor looks very nice - a nice period look 427. |
It's only probably more involved since we've never installed an engine in a cobra and the interior needs to be completed. The Hi Tech was running and only needed to be disassembled for paint.
I'll try to remember to bring my camera this week and take a few pictures. John |
