The 400E is a 275hp 4.2L V8 with a long gear of 2.24 but also have a 500SL diff for it with a 2.65 ratio. The car is all black (cladding also) grey leather interior and has various things done to it as h/l wipers removed for vented panels to air cleaner. The wheels are Racing Dynamics (England) and are 7X17 with 225/45-17 GS/D3/F1 Good Year tires. Transmission rebuilt in 2007 and has about 160k miles on it.

The Ford engine was used for three reasons in the 190. 1. SBF lighter than a SBC. 2. Distributor in front allowing for more engine setback. 3. The 201 chassis is designed for a front sump engine which a SBF is. My pan is extended to hold 7.5 qts, and also utilizes an Accusump system. The car uses the original PS pump that was on the 2.2 diesel engine but is now hooked up to a VW steering rack.....OE box too big and bulky only allowing for left hand turns!
Yes the block was a 302" but from Ford Motorsport which allows it to be bored more: .060 vs .030 oversize. It weighs about 60 pounds more than an OE block because of the extra beef, larger main caps and nickel in it. The cam also rides in needle bearings and the valley is all polished with bronze guides in the lifter bores. It was a former TransAm block....704hp!

Any other questions.....just ask.
