basically i brought this, i wasnt going to buy a moded car but did but have found out that it hasnt had any corners cut and a lot of ££££ has gone into this and all work has been carried out by a ford garage

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280758070948?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX: IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

and im just wondering if anyone has any information on it

its had fast road cams, racing clutch, bike carbs, 4-2-1 manifold, scorpion exhaust , lightend flywheel etc but is really tempromental its been sat for a while and i drove it back yesterday was a bit slugggy to start with but towards end of journey shifted and ran fine after half hour of running however on short trips its really slow and boggy and struggles to fire up as its overfueling

any ideas on how much it is going to cost to fix the problem ive been told it needs mapping again as it has had a new head and the old head had bigger valves in etc

 

cost to fix depends on whats wrong best thing to do is to take it to a good tuner and get them to look at it. wouldnt of thought the head would make that much difference at the power its meant to be putting out. i dont think a ford dealership would do a bodie conversion like that. Is there any proof of who carried the work out

 

ive got it booked in with jamsport on wednesday it seems to be struggling as in it wants to go and wont its not to bad on a long journey after a decent amount of time it hasnt been ran for a while but is dumping alot of fuel in the carbs and urm theres a stamp on engine with this is not a standard engine blah blah blah with a serial number and contact number for a garage and a ton of receipts

 

thats good mate hope you get it sorted looks a good car as well

 

turns out engine has/is losing compression so going to be selling the manifold / exhaust / cams throttle body set up with the bigger head and standalone ecu if any ones intrested

 

What fast road cams are in there? Might be interested in them.

Matt

 

why not just swap the engine then shift cams and boddies into that then?

 

have not got the money to set them up again, so basically stripping it for parts or sell as a whole , i think they are piper cams ill get back to you on that dont know if this will help you know which ones they are but they are more high rev range cams
