I do things...  Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |
Went Saturday way up into the mountains to recover an old FV racecar with two good engines and lot of extras including a new set of Hoosiers on new rims.
It belongs to a friend of mine who used to race it from the mid 80's to mid 90's. it's back in Napa and we want to tear it down, rebuild it and take it through SCCA race school next year. He'll want to sell it after that, buy a 914 and time trial/ax with us kooks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) FYI: even though a vee makes just 60hp and weighs 1000#'s with the driver, they can put up sub 2:00 lap times at both Sears and Thunderhill. True momemtum cars. 1200cc single carb, mid-engine, open wheel. They extract 50% more hp from the stock 40hp motors with careful headwork and flywheel lightening. And they rev up to 7k rpm's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) KT Attached image(s)

Yep- it bolts right up... The FV uses a VW trans, the bolt pattern has remained the same from 1946- the end of the 993 series between VW and Porsche..
I have a retrofit assembly for the release bearing that increases the artiulation of the stock VW cross shaft for the clutch to work better with the TIV flywheel... And also the flywheel that bolts right on perfectly to make it all work like a well oiled machine... Incompatible parts will cause you a shitty pedal, broken parts and headaches... I mastered this interchange about 20 years ago... |
