The 510 Realm

A Ford small block will fit, and so will a GM small block, as will a lot of others... ...that is to say, the engine will physically fit into the engine bay. Then you have to do all of those wonderful fabrication tasks that remind you why you wanted to do a swap in the first place... but with a V8, y...

what's a califonia? I've never heard of that before, is it some kind of fruit that you eat or something?

REPLACE THE ROD BOLTS ! ! ! If they break, everything else is a big waste of time, and they don't cost that much money - ARP makes L-series rod bolts in both the early 8mm and late 9mm sizes, so why not throw $50 at the motor in the interest of longevity!!! paint the block when there are no parts in...

ok, here's the latest reply from the kingpin in the administration and organization of Knox Mountain... Robert, I guess I am the only contact for you at this point in time. Yes, it is true that I retired last year thinking 34 years was enough but with no one else interested in taking over I will do ...

Here's the reply I got from Jim K. last night...

"Rob, as far as I know, right now no one is in charge of the hillclimb for 2004. You could try Ken S."

they are different books - the same but different. lots of info in both, and good to have both. look on E-Bay, they pop up on there from time to time. I picked up my original copy in excellent condition at a vintage race a few years ago for $35 US, so they are still out there for reasonable prices. ...

I seem to remember that FIA/ASN or whoever it was forced them to mandate a full-cage minimum which prevented a lot of people from running quasi-streetable cars (like Keith's car)

couldn't the steel tubes be yanked out to give much bigger ports?

Do you mean 20B as in the Mazda 3-rotor 20B? I've heard that the 3rd lobe mainshaft connector gets sloppy on the splines at around 80k. And I've also heard that once that happens, it will cause brand new apex seals to fail after only a few laps at the track, so what's the use in having a motor like ...

how 'bout just going for an Xtrac tranny?

Have a look at their facilities on the website, and then dream about winning the lottery!!!
