Bro. For towing a stockcar use either a Ute van or 4wd. Transit would be ok but not really ideal.
I used a L18 720 for a while, towed well but was pretty much a fail up hills. Went to a Hiace 2.2 petrol which did the job better. my brother uses V6 Hilux and old man uses Jep cherokee.
be aware that they push you all over the place and take your time. If it aint balanced on the trailer it will sway like fuck.
Awesome guys. Saw one old woman driving, bailed her uo. 100k original paint, surface rust on front bumper, mint otherwise. The answer, "Im not selling Gertude Bought her brand new in 1985" DANG
When I raced my datto 1600 it did this all the time.No amount of fucking around with mixtures and shit fixed it. Put another carb on it and sweet, no more issues. i also know how to make these carbs mechanical secondaries and its very simple, looks standard too.
First impressions are normally correct.
just random spelling mistakes make it sound dodgy to me. Nuthin wrong with the product though. bro had one of these setups in stockcar.....
Ring rapeco and enquire about belt. While doing so their book should state if its an "interference" engine. If not, should be all goodly. if so bent valve city.
Yup Point taken, but most spaceframes have eff all direct airflow due to chassis crossbracing, bonnet edge which HAS TO extend over in front of radiator and shocks are normally in the airflow path.. When the old man bunged a 308 on a 180b years back he had a custom rad made. Thing never ever got hot but rad cost megabux
Boe. Your speedway car..... I used to race XC 3.3 in "production saloon" (lame grade) 200 x-flow 3 on the tree. My mum raced it too. Could whip V6 Capri. Won the Northland champs in it. Anyhoo a tip. If you run counter clockwise heres a fucking great setup....Take the lowering blocks out as well as 2 leaves. Lower it 3" left front 4" left rear and 3" right rear. Gas axe sag stz(DONT CHOP THE COILS AT ALL)......Leave right front stock height. Lengthen Rh lower arm by 60mm. Crank right hand radius arm right forward left hand toward rear.
If you set it up like this ,Yup it will look fucking stupid, but can GUARANTEE it will handle.
Previous racecar had 3l Essex in it. Revved like fuck. Caution is required in the oil pump drive as it is a hex drive from bottom distributor gear. Have tendency to round off. Also have a tendency for soft valve springs. Makes em easy as to valve bounce......Parts are available but a wait time may ensue. Good engine otherwise
