Bond , Micheal Nash raced cranky before Mike Kristen own it ,with 2276cc carb motor . Rod Richardson step up and bought his motor for his 61 bug . Drag car was sold with a smaller motor (1915 cc I think ) I'll fined some pics .
The motor, that is in LEON's MOTORS add in VWMA is his ,for the new prostocker bug .

The small motor was actually 1835cc and had mechanical injection.

It ran a best of 11.9@110mph

The 2275 ran a best of 11.12@119.9mph. (1.45 sixty foot time!!)

Yes, that was a light car!..about 650kg WITH driver!

The Autocraft engine that was stored at Leons was a 2702cc.
It was assembled by Craig Brown at Crankshaft.
Craig also upgraded the heads.

Michael ported the manifolds, and set up of the vac pump, alternator, drysump and Terminator carbs.
Should be a pretty stout combo in a proven chassis combo from Ron Lummus.
270 to 280hp with vac pump?

Where are you Michael!!?


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - April 28th, 2008 at 06:56 AM

Yes it has been a while. be real nice to see the new car completed and on the track say by warwick(hint hint)

I got some door rubbers of Michael about a year ago. He is living near me and apparently has no dub at present. He did say he still had a lot of WCM stuff around from the shop. I think his 1835 was the quickes on the planet for a while...although I was told that by a guy that used to work for him...can't recall his name, drove a sweet blue 60's cab. Long time ago now, I was just out of school and used to pop into volkwerks and wolks restore for chats :)
