I tweek on them as well. I have a ton of pics. email me @ info@aircoledtechnology.com and I'll give you a zip file full. Post what you like here. All my pics are digital, most of them not even 2 months old.

I just got finished with a 59 Carrera GT that raced at Lemans in 60-61..... pulling the engine from a 300K buck car is a true experience.

They sound cool, but they are no fun to work with. I have paid 8,000.00 for a set of pistons and cylinders for one!!! A typical engine build is 25K, can be more.

They are slow- compared to even a 1776 TI engine! The powerband is useless on the street, nothing before 5,000 RPM.....

All they have is a cool factor to me, but after you work on one at least you can add it to the resume.

BTW, someone above mentioned a Carrera style shroud for a TI........

I know of two people currently doing it. Both have contacted me for dyno work on their pieces. One will sell for about 2K, the other is authentic as hell and will sell for around 4K.

$$$$$$$ and these engines go hand in hand. The fan alone is 700 bucks at wholesale.
