This morning the owner dropped off this Spyder replicar. I'm putting one of my headers onto the Massive Type IV engine.

The only replacement for displacement is weight reduction!
I build a ton of engines for these cars. It is not uncommon to get a zero-60 time of around 4 seconds out of one. Add that heavyweight engine, and lose all that, plus having to redesign the entire car to make it fit. I built a 2165 Type I engine with a EFI Turbo arrangement and stabbed it into one of these cars. It pulled a best of 11.39 in the qtr mile, and was driveable enough for drivers eds and etc, just keep it off boost in the corners and hold on! I have a proposal out now on a 2701cc (78x105) TIV engine for a 550 replica. This will be one serious engine with Titanium rods, my mack daddy heads, and etc. The customer will not settle for less than a 9,000 RPM redline and 8,000 RPM shift point. That one will be amazing, and absolutely not cheap! |
