Hey what happened to the name of this thread?
Always a glorious moment!under it's own power for the first time in years
sending you my best wishes.I've actually sold the car, there's no way I can crawl around and keep working on it with the pins and rods in my back, plus there is another operation coming up, so I sold it, and my kart. I did buy an already built car to replace it, but right now, I'm buried working with race teams until further notice. IMSA is trying to cram 10 races into 4 months along with the SCCA runoffs and the majors this winter so I'm double booked in a few cases.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to do anything, I've shoved the other back op as far back as I can stand, what a screwed up year.

What all is done to the new car?
Nothing really special.
Except for one hell of a fun race car to drive!
I mean, that would be my guess.
How do the V6's hold up to track use in stock form? The S197 V6 cars are cheaper than SN95's at this point. I've been looking for a stock, reliable track car because the other car is always broken.Basically a competitive T4 car, which means an unrestricted 6 cylinder, and a Ford Performance suspension, Ron Davis radiator and a cage/ fire system. Nothing really special.

Fine if you leave them alone, this one has had the heads off at some point apparently for a valve job. These are not my favorite V6s, they have a modular head and use a counter shaft that runs through the block to drive the cam on the passenger head..lol. BUT, they are very dependable, this one was rung out by Marsh, Rezzatano, Heinricey and a couple of other heavy hitters. The whole idea of SCCA touring class cars is to be able to use a bone stock engine. I know of one national championship won on a salvage yard engine. That's the idea.
