This 4 day weekend has been great for race car progress.
Fritz lives! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) My friend Tom Amon rebuilt the motor after I damaged 2 cylinders from pre-detonation due to a broken distributor belt. Tom cleaned up the damage and we did a little upgrading "while we were in there" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Let's just say more HP and more reliability. Full top end rebuild and ARP fasteners throughout. We re-installed the motor in 2.5 hours this morning and after priming the oil system the motor lit off in 3 revolutions. Fritz idles fine and after terrorizing the neighborhood, I must say that the 3.6 993 motor in a lightweight car is just amazing! (SirAndy you luck boy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) Damn...makes me want to figure out how to keep Fritz and Lucille.... Here's a pic of Fritz as of a couple of minutes ago. No runs, drips or errors. Absolutely brutal acceleration. 300HP in 2400lbs. Did I say I love 3.6's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Bill P. Attached image(s)
