0->60 in 69 minutes ... Hmmm.. I wonder where that person got all that high tech
speed equipment. I could use some on my Land Rover's engine ;*)
Actually, if a Land Rover were right hand drive, a TR3 intake manifold and SUs
would fit very nicely with little mounting work. I suspect there would be a HP
and milage boost over the single downdraft Solex. Unfortunatly for those of us
with left hand drive, the steering box and rear carb would try to occupy yhe
same space :^(
Maybe raise the compression from 7:1 or 8:1 to 9.5:1. Put headers & a cam in
the car..
It could break rear axles even faster.
