Hey guys long time no speak!!!!
been busy putting my escort back together over summer.
basically the car was running a slightly tuned crossflow on twin 40's and through about six months of abuse i think it bore washed and ended up doing the piston rings.
so since april ive been building a new engine and went a lil bit mad!!!
the cam for starters wasnt exactly ideal for the road but down the strip will hopefully make a huge difference. cam i went for then was a KC262, then had the bottom end all lightened and balanced having gone mad with everything else, apart from a steel crank due to the fact that they cost millions!!!!
the head is stage 3 with roller rockers etc....but the car was only running twin 40's. it made good power on the rollers at 135bhp n still spinning but was dropping off a top end and generally felt lacking if you know what i mean.
so i went straight down to southern carbs and purchased a brand new set of twin 45's!!
now they are all bolted on and the car is running better than before however, without being rolling roaded! but it has a missfire at 5000rpm and beyond. ive asked posse what he reckons it could be and he thinks it may be an air leak in the inlet manifold?
Any suggestions chaps? other than the routine stuff ive done, i.e ive changed the dizzy cap, plugs, and got a new set of magnecor leads. Please help!!! Cheers guys
