Default A a video of a nasty 482 Kieth Craft engine running in my GT MKIV

Ok, I couldn't wait to hear it so the other day I wired her up just to get to hear her and get motivated. JOB DONE! The video doesn't do it justice in the least.




How about with open headers! Yowza!

Brent

WOWZA!

That is one mean sounding motor.
Does it run on pump gas? Sounds like it might be race fuel prepared?

NICE!

Hi Brent,
Hope you are on the road soon. We have got to have a WA-OR GT40 gathering next year! There must be 5 or 6 of us now.

Here's the link to the engine build. http://clubcobra.com/FORUMS/showpost...6&postcount=32

I "think" it's his standard package. Stage II heads, etc. The exhaust helps with sound I think, and it does rev quickly...the 930 porsche flywheel is quite a bit smaller/lighter than the standard ford unit.


Here's the dyno #'s.
