How is the race season going?

I have raced about 5 times this season and am planning to attend 4 more before the end of the year.

Mark K and I were working on the 3L again this weekend, got heads installed.
Since I had Alusil cylinders I just left the 9.3 to 1 pistons in and will upgrade the cams to Elgin 330s.

I had Henry at Supertec rebuild my 2.7 last winter, and am also glad to have the Supertec head studs installed as the engine previously had all Dilivar studs (supposedly the proper setup when it was last rebuilt in the 90s). They seem to really be a good answer to the head stud problems, and Henry gives a two year warrantee on his engines.

Did you use Casesavers on the block or otherwise reinforce the mounting points for the head studs?

Not necessary on an aluminum block

May I ask what kind of chlutch/flywheel combo you are going to use with 3L and 901 ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I would also like to ask if those Elgin 330s cams are made from new cores or are they re-grinds ??

The cams are regrinds and I am using a Kennedy flywheel adapter that turns it into a cup style. The clutch and pressure plate are the stage 2 also from Kennedy.

Looking good, Glenn, that will get you down the road faster.

Are you using a 901 with that?

I am starting the race season late this year because I went to Hershey Swap Meet and missed the first race. I put on some new axles and new CVs...
car should be faster because of the yellow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)




What Axles & CVs did you use?

T.C.
The transmission flanges are the 915 coarse spline, CVs are 911 SC, axles are 914/6, hubs are cut (bearing side) 911 SC and stub axles are 911 SC.
I am taking the minimalist approach on this because it is a race car, the lager CVs are just more mass to spin up. The 911 SC CVs are readily available and relatively cheap.
