Thanks
alan
Well, I've had a change in plans engine-wise with my oval (I'll keep the new engine details under wraps for now, but it could have the numbers, 2, 3, 3, and 2 in it, as well as some forced induction and efi).....so I've reluctantly decided to sell my super solid type IV engine.

Suburb / Post Code – Gold Coast, QLD
Item Description including Brand – see below
Condition – see below (rebuilt ~100km's ago)

I was going to turbo/efi this engine but have decided to go type I as I'd have to change too many parts in this engine to achieve my goals if I kept this engine. I ran it in on the saturday of racing at Warwick last year, and apart from about 15 runs down the 1/8 mile strip it has done about 10 laps around my block at home since I haven't had time to sort out my brake lights/indicators etc etc - so its probably done under 100kms since the rebuild.
Specs:
Crankshaft: Stock type IV 71mm reground and balanced by Crankshaft Engineering
Conrods: Stock balanced type IV rods
Pistons: 94.5mm with bored and honed stock cylinders
Compression ratio: 7.5:1 (55cc chambers, 0.035-0.040" deck height)
Camshaft: Jake Raby custom turbo grind (0.500" lift with split duration to favour exhaust for type IV heads)
Pushrods: Chromoly (cut to length - thanks Dangerous)
Lifters: Hardened webcam to match cam
Rocker arms: 1.7L modified to suit swivel feet adjusters
Springs: Dual heavy duty with pressures set up by head machinist on the gold coast (will have to dig up exact pressures as I can't find the number right now)
Cylinder Heads: Reconditioned 2L heads, mild port and polish, hardened valve seats, 3 angle valve seat grind
Valves: Intake (41mm) and Exhaust (34mm) both from 1.8L type IV.
Oil pump: Full flow 30mm Shadek
Cooling: RAT DTM (Down The Middle) shroud including engine bay sealing tin (not in my oval, but will put a pic below in my ragtop) + external oil filter and custom mount on bumper bracket
Induction: Dual 40mm Dellorto DRLA carbs upgraded with CB Performance update kit which uses a horizontal discharge tube and larger venturies for better flow and fuel atomisation. K&N air filters. Match ported type IV manifolds which have been ceramic coated. Polished aluminium throttle linkage.
Ignition: 009 dizzy, GT40 coil, can't remember brand of leads
Exhaust: Custom made by CES Racing (cost $2400 - have invoice)
210mm lightened flywheel, stock 1.8 clutch and pressure plate (balanced with crank etc).
Case has been drilled and tapped (thanks Damo) so oil galleys all clear). Correct rocker geometry has been set at zero, half and full lift. New repro alternator, stainles braided lines from oil cooler to case and AN fittings, will also include AN banjo fittings on carbs and braided fuel lines (but fuel regulator not included).
Also included is the custom breather box (cost me around $200) as well as all the -10 AN fittings and braided lines which route to the valve covers (AN male fittings welded onto covers) (well over $300 in fittings/hoses etc).
So this is sold as a complete bolt in and drive away engine - no cutting of the engine bay requried contrary to popular belief. This engine has heaps of torque but not the power band I need for drag racing (hence going with type I) - absolutely perfect for a cruiser/daily driver/beetle/splitty (depending on exhaust and height of DTM).
Let me know if you have any questions. I still only have the single outer valve springs in the heads since warwick but will install the duals prior to sale (once the engine is out of the oval) - you are welcome to come to the gold coast and test drive it in the oval, but please no tyre kickers as I don't have lots of spare time at the moment.
Cheers
Alan
