Hello Chuck,
Thanks, seems to be a lot of activity here.


Tom,

The 4.09 gear was a modification I made to increase acceleration. These W114 gas cars had a taller gear.

You planning to take it to the dragstrip? Smoking the tires in two gears seems excessive!

Tom,

As a matter of fact, this car was taken to the drag strip, autocross, road coarse, Scca Pro Rally etc. It struck terror into the hearts of many Porsche owners at autocrosses!

Joe's too modest.
That engine is blueprinted, balanced, ported and polished.

And I know where it currently is....
