Admin Vista Posted June 13, 2007 Admin Report Posted June 13, 2007 Some lovely looking engine installs, but who are E.R.A and what engine is that lurking underneath the rocker cover?
105Speed Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 E R A are Engish Racing Automobiles, a company from the 1930's which became BRM in the 1950's Raymond Mays was a director and a driver for the company aswell as Sterling Moss who had wins in the early 50's in an ERA car. The engine is a black top Zetec Nice innit
Admin Vista Posted June 13, 2007 Admin Report Posted June 13, 2007 Nice innit Oh yeah! So is it a straight Zetec with a fancy rocker cover a la BDA type that you see occasionally or is it a hot zetec?
105Speed Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Depends on what you call hot.... its 180bhp... (as seen in this months Retro Ford ) And its not quite like the BDA ones, this is a complete cam cover that just bolts straight onto the head, the BDA ones bolted over the original silvertop rocker cover. Which made it a bit of a problem when you want to put oil in because the filler on a Zetec is at the back and the filler on a BDA is at the front. So unless you mod the Zetec cover underneath you had to take the BDA cover off everytime you want to put oil in... which was a big naff really.
