Hi Mean '69 how ya doing? glad you liked the T/A, but hopefully this one will be better
The car is being built at the moment & will run in our HSCC (Historic Sports Car Club) in the Roadsports class. There are limits to what is allowed to comply with the rules. Engines must be standard original for the year, ie if it wasn't fitted you can't have it. However, modifications to compression, cam, headwork etc are free. I'm going to be running a 350 with 2.02 Fuelies (heavily worked) 12.5.1 compression with quench, FIA race cam (big x large, very special one off grind) Performer RPM, (has to be a dual plane) An aaaaawful lot of blueprinting & strenghthening of the engine, 4 speed with 3.28 rear gears. Engine will be producing approx 450-470 bhp with a lot more torque.Should rev to 7000 or so, now I know it's not exctly G-Machine stuff or the sort of HP you guys are producing, but it's "built" to race for 30+ minutes at a time & live to tell the tale, plus it's gonna be street driven. The suspension has to run stock front arms, but with poly bushes.Shocks will be Koni multi point adjustables. The rear springs are stiffened & has an antiroll bar fitted. Front springs are 1500lbs / side. Brakes have full competition pads & linings, ( My mates Mustangs discs glow cherry red when he's racing with the same pads).His Mustang is based on a similar sort of set up as mine will be & is easily able to outperform Subaru Impreza's & Mitsubushi Evo's on the track in a different class, so it's not exactly a slouch.I posted a question on the "brakes" part of the forum asking for comparisons between aftermarket & standard style brakes but haven't had a single reply, his brakes are awesome. The wheels for racing will be Minilights with Yokohama 032R's, whilst for street use it will run 17" or 18" alloys of some description, not too sure about that yet. Body will be black, full cage, full interior, all the chrome & badges renewed, with a dark grey metallic painted underside with dark grey hockey stick stripe, with the suspension painted gloss black.
Thanks for making me feel welcome guys.
