Its a WW2 era 5.2 litre (260 lb) air cooled Lycoming flat-4.Originally Posted by clutch-monkey
nota explain yours.. all i see is pipes going everywhere
Bought @ scrap value in 1954 then owner re-engineered including a customised FI system and mounted inverted (upside down) into an also self-designed & built two seater GP racing car which in 1958 did the SS 1/4 mile in 12.7 secs .. on 165mm width Michelin X tyres!
Incredibly it was not trailered to race meetings, but instead driven to and from, including the Grand Prix events!
During the 1956/57 season the car had completed approximately 700 miles racing and 5,000 miles on the road.
"The Lycoming was a really delightful road car and my drives around the country were more enjoyable than the racing."
'readers should appreciate that this was a tractable, self starting, roadworthy and street registered two-seater sports car, capable of everyday use. It did not require to be transported to distant events and in fact provided transport for the competing driver. For a time the car was his main means of transport and as such took him shopping for its own requirements.'
Six years of GP competition from 1956/57 until retired in 1962 then 'unbeatable' in Sports Car & Hillclimb categories through 1968.
Much revered Scottish driver the multiple F1 World Champion Jim Clark signals his approval in 1966 (car also raced by Bruce McLaren).yeah it looks like two BMW boxer engines slapped together ... wtf ? actually WHY TF
