Would this 1776 be able to be drivin daily without to much fuss? wat type of carbs etc 140 hp sounds fun that would give alot of 1916 a shock good for
a low 16 sec?
humpty - July 23rd, 2007 at 11:23 PM
The best times I had with this engine was a 14.8.... Ran consistent 15.1's.... And it was daily driven in Sydney and Perth traffic for over 14
years.... I also drove it across Australia a few times (Sydney-Perth, Perth-Sydney-Perth, Perth-Adelaide-Sydney-Melbourne-Perth)....
I run dual 40mm Delorttos, ENGLE 120, 69CW Crank and Shimo ported 044 heads with a Phoenix 1-5/8 merged header.
So I guess you could say it was a good driver!
