Late8pex had a question which triggered a thought for me.
I've heard from people I trust.. that the sheetmetal/engine shelf is not necessary on a race only 4 cylinder car..... So group and brad... what is the consensus regarding this for a 6 cylinder race only car... On my conversion trailered race car... can I cut the engine shelf out if my class rules allow it? (ditto for the engine tin?) TIA brant |

Late8pex...
only my opinion and lets see what others have to add... but a couple of items to consider before you remove the tin: 1) alot of stockish rules would not allow it 2) you had better have other means to cool the motor before you pull it... I'm thinking auxillary coolers, high volume electric fans on the heads... 3) I'm talking sprint type races not enduros.. etc.... brant |
