5 speed TCS for sale on Ebay
« on: Wednesday,July 21, 2021, 08:49:17 AM »
It doesn't look TOO bad (not counting the carburation change). He shows pictures of an invoice but the supplier or shop is (conveniently?) not shown. The badge on the engine cover seems to be from an S2. No interior or under carriage pictures. It's not running. My guess is that there it has a fairly bad case of DPOitis but could still be a car worthy of restoration. Bidding starting at $3,000 but no bids so far.

It seems a potential good project, though as you suggest, many questions remain unanswered. It looks like some type of air scoop on the right side engine cover vent, though seemingly too small to effective for feeding the intake.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

That seems like a lot. Is that a normal overbore displacement? I wonder if he just got it wrong?

Steve from Twin Cam Racing who built my motor last year is racing with a TC motor that is .50 over (85mm) and a 80mm crank and that is 1,815 cc. That seems to be the limit with the right graded block unless shrapnel through thin fiberglass is your thing , so it sounds like a mistake.
