I thought these photos documenting the preparation of my vintage racer would be of interest. We started with a run-of-the-mill 72 car (purchased on eBay), stripped it to the metal, straightened it, welded in a cage, powder-coated everything, added a new pedal-box assembly, AIM display and the best components we could find. FAT performance built a powerful 4 cylinder engine and we are off to the races!

Just wanted to say that a front mounted oil cooler is a great way to go. You might not be able to do that (rules), but if you can that configuration is a winner. I haven't seen over 180 degrees with my set up, even after flat out runs as hard as I could go at Medford, on a hot day, in second and third gear. Typical runs there are 4-5 minutes which will be a lot less time than you'll see on the track, but the combination of Nickies and front mounted oil cooler work great. |
