Unfortunatley the original owner cannot be reached so all motor details are sketchy. Mick, the guy I purchased the motor off, had a slip of paper on which the original owner had written as follows....L20b engine built as full race engine by Dat Rally produces over 200hp. $5000 spent on head work alone with port, polish, springs and valves etc. Race cam. Crank, flywheel and running gear balanced and polished. Flat top pistons, electronic dizzy. Twin 48mm side draught webers. Spent a little over $10,000 on this package.
I cant verify any of it ofcourse but to say that you could eat your dinner off the internals would be an understatement and it all seems to be as stated. I tried to verify the motor build with Dat Rally, but they dont keep records from this period, all though I did find a Thermo seal tied around the sump with a seriel number that may be of some use
So the motor slotted in no dramas, although I do need some 1600 mounts (call you again Monday Baz
). Car did have a GT40 coil already in but it proved to be stuffed, so i fitted the coil that came with the engine and it started first pop. revs like a beotch but seemed a bit lean by the state of the plugs. Once ive got the mounts and sorted out an accelerator cable set up (any ides please read my thread in the engine section) I'll take it for a dyno and see exactly what I need to get me racing......?
