Wonky 'L' after Washing

Looks like a P60b40 engine picture, I have some spare parts for that race engine if your looking for any. I also have a used P65b44 4.4 liter V8 if you would like the successor to that engine. Let me know.

Hi,
The Mondeo V6 does not have a Gasket in it. When I was first told this I thought they were joking but every surface was 'Glass True' just the ability to design and then run in competition that engine is remarkable. Prodrive did the Race engines under some sort of Confidentiality Licence. Apparently they were good for around 1500/2000 kms on a good day and then it was all replaced. That was when Fords Race budget on Touring Cars was the same as most F1 teams. Regards, The Gorilla. |

They have period F1 injectors on them too, the fuel rails mean the injectors are firing straight down the trumpets, the attention to detail is wonderful.
Didn't know that about the gasket.

Hi,
Nathan- did the ALMS E46 have the MacL rear end as not all of them did ? Looking at the Front Strut tops and the Cage it suggest it did, but PTG also did their own version, which was more akin the std E46 but replaced the rear arms, with Ti versions, no rear subframe, diff was mounted directly to the chassis etc and both the tie links were rod ended adjustable. It was the only way to get the diff up high enough for the ramp angles and also save weight. Picture you posted looks more like a BMW MS/ Schnitzer Shell with the diamond Turret top ala 320 ST. Guy I know in Norway has a 96/97 Works DTM Opel ex Team Joest etc with full Xtrac 4 wheel drive Cosworth 2.5 V6 KF engine, Opel tried many times to buy it back and all the Spares, engines / Geraboxes etc he purchased it when they sold it all of. That Cosworth KF engine makes 510 BHP at 10,600 rpm from a 2.5 V6, you can feel your Bones resonate at Peak rpm. Regards, The Gorilla. |

Engine sounds amazing me old Primate, some revs! Will have a look at e46 next time I'm working on it but no rockers in the boot that I've noticed.
Found a pic of mondeo injector setup on my phone, not great quality but you get the idea. Martin - this is a prodrive one you got any pics of the Roush ones? Forgot to mention load cells built in to the top mounts, properly cool things these old race cars eh.

Hi,
Nathan- The Cosworth KF engine was the same, I think most went the same route as money was being thrown around like confetti. Regards, The Gorilla. |
