Wow, that's a labor of love, right there! Look at the engineering, not to mention the time, effort and attendant skills involved. Great stuff! Neat forum too... might bear checking out!
Yup! I reckon it's just a matter of time til a roots-type, blown (not turbo) XS or TS turns up on here. Or maybe it has and I just don;t know about it yet.
Wonder what other mods would have to be made to tolerate that extra intake charge velocity, pressure, etc.?
That's cool,thanks for posting that.I've seen a few of the Vesco's rides but have not seen this one.If it was originally built in 69 i guess they push started it(no electric starters until 72). I wonder why they used a later electric start engine in the front for the restoration? Maybe they couldn't find another 70-71 engine? Still, a very cool old racer.I would love to go see that at the museum.
