PeteSC, thanx for the pics. I have never seen detailed closeup pics of the finished car but heard it was a driver. I am glad Dave is able to enjoy his many years of effort. Burly

The Type 64 crew from North Carolina has shared many body images and now the the highly modified 36hp engine being prepared by Whitey Worsham of German Automotive together with Bruce Cook is nearing completion. The photos below share some of the technology Whitey has engineered into the mighty 36er including a solution to the problem of lifter angle when using Porsche 356 lifters and finding 85.5mm pistons. Enjoy............

Jerry63, you would need to contact Whitey Worsham, the engine builder, for his thoughts on that...........by the 36hp Challenge engine guidelines, the 36hp head studs cannot be repositioned, but you can downsize to 8 mm studs using case savers to allow slightly more room between the studs for larger cylinders.
