Some Thoughts On Slant Geometry
that 61 lancer listed in records at Asbury, Mo is local car from Carthage mo. rumor has it that it has a heavy custom flywheel and $14000 in engine. runs NA. pretty cool. I image the details are top secret!
Is that an offer or a rumor? Since you are less than 50 miles from me, I'll even pay for your fuel to come get that $14,000.00 engine. I might even take less money than that for the engine since that is more than I have invested in the whole car.
No secrets here. Slant Six Racing News #28 pages 14-26. tells everything about the car and the engine, even the cam specs and how it ran 10.50's on 30% nitro. Talks about the used BBC lightweight flywheel with the hogged out mounting holes to slant 6 pattern and how it has an 130 tooth MoPar starter ring adapted to it.
The Lancer is the quickest N/A car around for the weight class and has been for about 18 years. That pretty aluminum head engine must not run as good as it looks because over 15 years ago the owner told me they were going to be the quickest N/A, hasn't happened yet.
3.530 bore with a 7" rod, 4.125 stroke. Was 4.200 stroke but leaving at 6200RPM with a manual transmission twists crankshafts after 60-70 runs so we went to a stock stroke with no problems. Block is filled to the deck and just cool the head. Homemade intake with 2" Hilborn throttle bodies, mechanical fuel injection. Dry sump oiling and crank trigger ignition.
I would like to keep the engine until after the Tulsa MoPar race Nov. 5th, just email me and I will get it pulled out after that.
