"Sweep the floor" 1915cc for the SNG Gasser
jick:
So when I bought the old SNG car last year I knew it didn't have an engine with it,so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to find a nice AK series long block, which I've stripped and had checked over and the case is all good....
but more importantly in various boxes were...
A new pair of 041 heads, cut for 94's 40x38.5 valves with 52cc chambers
A NOS VW forged 69mm crank, welded & counterweighted & 8 dowelled
Lightened flywheel
A set of NOS Demer Aluminium rods stock length
Some old ali 1.4 rockers...... might have to replace these?
Berg IDA linkage
Magneto & clamp
Berg oil filter mount to fit in place of the stock cooler
Custom made oil filler set up
These last 3 items I'm sure are the originals that were on the SNG back in the 70's.
So pretty much all I need are
Barrels & Pistons
Camshaft
Followers
Pushrods & tubes
Oh, and some IDA's....
I want to throw this thing together for EBI in the summer with minimum expense, using what I have
So bearing in mind it's a really light car, and just for blasting up the strip occasionally, what's your advice guys??
Many thanks
Jick

Hi Jick
nice find, I wouldn't use the ally rods though, they have a really short life cycle, need special bearings and really need oil preheated before starting car so just not ideal for fit and forget type engine, as for rest Engle 130 with decent springs to suit & 1.25/1 rockers, lots of compression & use what you have 8)
cheers Richie
