Aluminum Flywheels
Since Tilton
Engineering stopped "short run" aluminum flywhe
els, there has
been a nasty shortage of British (Lotus and Vintage racing) flywheels. Our all
time buy just before Tilton threw in the towel "almost" carried us over until
our own designs were finished. As you read this we should have in stock all our
traditional street and racing applications, plus other heretofore unavailable
flywheel for other British Marques (Triumph, BMC, Coventry Climax, etc.) In the
process, we consolidated designs to fit several applications, made process
changes to ease manufacture, and technical improvements for lighter weight and
less inertia.
Line Bore Main Bearings for Lotus/Ford
Blocks
We got a rude awakening one morning a couple of years ago
when we went to restock our +.015 OD Vandervell main bearings. NLA in any size!
Now how can a manufacturer run out of all the sizes at the same time? It can't.
VP decided to stop production of the slow moving line, and some accountant
somewhere punched his keyboard and scrapped the remaining stock! After much
persuasion and cajoling, se managed to get VP to run 250 sets of standards for
us. We still had a small stock of undersizes, which we felt would carry us a
year or two. But panic broke out and these were soon bought up. Finally, after
an 18-month wait, the special production run of -.010 and -.020 are now also
available. And we still have a small number of -.030.

Twin Cam Aluminum Cylinder Head
Now fully
developed and much better than the earlier versions, these are now available in
both standard and large port versions (to save those endless hours porting that
long inlet runner). Improved coolant flow around exhaust valves, vacuum
impregnation sealing, and repositioning of oil transfer drilling (to stop that
stubborn oil leak from behind the front cover) are just a few of the modern
innovations that make it the best T/C head ever.
Standard ports......................- 536E 0730.....$3400.00
- Standard ports, Europa Inlet..
- 575E 0730.....$3750.00
- Big
Ports..............................
- 576E 0730.....$3400.00
Heads are supplied less valve gear, guides, seats and studs. Special
pricing available on these pieces with purchase of head.
Note: We will be offering complete ported and assembled heads ready to
bolt on, c/w cams, etc.; in three states of tune: 135, 150 and full race 190
HP. Call for details.
Twin Cam Block
Original iron blocks are now so
rare that even 1500 P.R. blocks (from whence T/C blocks can be made) are
bringing obscene prices...if you can find them. These aluminum blocks are
stronger and lighter than original (30 pounds), have Nicasil wet liners (83.5
and 85 mm bores; 90 mm bore available with iron liners), improved oiling
system, and - best of all- ready availability. They are already SCCA legal for
BDA Formula Atlantic and any production class cars using T/C engines. Most
vintage groups seem fairly indifferent.
BDP Repro Block
Similar to above, but full
cross flow block height and uses iron dry liners (90 mm bore) to make BDG/P
2-liter engine. External features differ enough to stand out from an iron
block, but dimensionally interchangeable.
T/C and BD, 83.5/85 mm:
614E
0708................................$3500.00
BDG, 90mm
615E 0708
................................$3600.00
Cross Flow Cylinder Head
478E
6085......$695.00
Ford has ceased production and scrapped all remaining inventory and
tooling to make the Kent cross flow/uprated cylinder head. We will spare you
our opinion of that inspired executive decision. But there is a steady demand
for these because what few you can still find in junk yards have a 50/50 chance
of being cracked. This aluminum version saves many pounds (but that's not
really the point). Present one of these to your head porter, who's used to the
endless grinding on dirty old iron versions, and he will probably kiss you.
Complete with bronze guides, hardened valve seats. All parts 100%
interchangeable with original. Currently approved tentatively by most vintage
groups.
SCCA, as only they can, have appointed an ad hoc committee to study the
situation and advise if they should make a decision to put it before the board
to discuss the possibility of voting whether or not they think they want to
make it legal for FF! Last I heard the Canadian and Australian clubs have
already legalized it for their FF classes.

BS
As in B S Levy!
"Montezuma's
Ferrari,"second in the series and sequel to "The Last Open
Road," Levy's book about 50s sports car racing. This time, Buddy and Big Ed
Baumstein do the Mexican Road Race, 1953 Sebring, the (old) Bridge, and many
other early venues. All the original characters are there, mixed in with real
people like Cunningham, Phil Hill, Shelby, etc. Buddy's technics with race cars
and Julie both develop well. It's all written in what Burt calls "first
person bar stool," as if it's being told to you by the person next to you
at the bar. Indeed, you don't so much read it as hear it! The period
development is so detailed an accurate, I was convinced he was an old codger
writing his memoirs. When I finally had the pleasure of meeting him, I was
shocked to find he was, um, somewhat younger than that.
If you love
old race cars, vintage racing, or just genuinely great writing, you'll not want
to miss this. If you've not read "The Last Open Road,"
we'll make a special deal on both volumes.

000X 1029.............$24.50

Tee Shirts - Twenty Bucks
Don't you just love it? They are so inside, only another
Last-Open-Roader will get it. Even better than secret signs and fraternity
handshakes. Think about it. Your (supposedly) good friend with the Lexus sez,
"Hey! You're not Buddy! And what's a Sinclair Station?" You will know,
at that moment, he's not one of "us."
