This is Mk1 perfection! Super quick, aggressive but classic looks and great colour. Ive drooled over this car many times at the Pod on the rare occasions its standing still and not hooning down the strip!

Always been a fan of the car, my mate anit a big fan of OSF's more into his VW bugs etc but he saw this car and a few HPE escorts and angilas at brighton and Classic Ford Show made him want to come to more and more Ford meets.

same car ?

[Toby]

so whats the spec?

Yes mate same car different pic!

On this day I ran a 13.3 on street Yoko's 048s.

When I got home I thought it sounded a bit rattly. On removing the rocker cover I found it had broken a valve spring and run that time.

Rough spec.

Pre-crossflow built on an L block. 3D machined head for perfect chamber replication accross the cylinders. RS200 BDT pistons (85.4mm) with the tops machined off to loose the bowls. Stroker Dug Kiddie crank. Arrow Rods. Race steel cam. Thin stem followers! 180 + Bhp (Sanspeeds rollers showed 201bhp but I think that reads a little high)

Latest Rolling Road at Torque of the Devil Showed a more realistic 163hp (Flywheel)

Tran X diff for strength with large shafts.

Recently having broken so many pinto gear boxes I have made every cog in the box as straight cut gears from alloy tool steel. This meant I could choose my ratios. Whilst I was at it I made it a dog box.

Lovely tina ! i wil try and get to sum events and see these cars in the flesh and smell the burning rubber !

[Mr Sam]

great to meet you mate and have a propper look round the car, looking at it you wouldnt suspect a thing even looking at the engine

 

but the proof is in the pudding

 

 

the mustang is a 5.0 with alot of gas, you more than kept up with him, i think the gas saved his ass
