Post by: Lou Drozdowski on Thursday,April 16, 2020, 05:36:04 PM
Just passing this on, if all our members kicked in $175.00 each we could really have a community.

 :I-agree:

I'm in!

However, I insist that the car is kept in the south west of the UK.

I'm happy to store it free of charge and only ask that all ownership documents are kept by me too.. for 'safe-keeping' of course...

Why is there no drool emoji?  :P

My $175 is ready and waiting.

How do you get 2 Liters (and 218 HP) out of a Kent block and twincam head?

Some of that money must go to paying-off whoever enforces the laws of geometric space. Seriously, the most I’ve ever heard someone getting out of a Kent block was 1800 cc. Unless it is a totally new aftermarket block, in which case, would it still qualify for classic sports car racing?

OMG, the classic racers running today may not be “silhouette ” racers but they are no where near the spec they left the factory with.

The guys at Sports Car World / Regogo Racing run a 23B with a kent block and it makes north of 200hp at 9k+ RPM....The answer is yes...spend lots and lots of money. Its life is measured in hours.
