LandSpeed Buggy

[mark tucker]

I would ram induce it.but fuel would need to be wached closely.and sealed to the carb so the bowels are also pressurized...but Im sure you know that. or a good air cleaner to get rid of turdbulance witch is a killer.and may be part of the issue in 4th. a variable length stinger may also be nice to try to find the right length in 4th. The buggy looks great!!
as kid I learned about ram air....on a motorcyle. I wantend more power... all it did was to push the fuel back up the jets & out of the bowel and die.I wasent real smart about that kinda stuff back them. if I would of just put the vent hose in the pressure .....it probably would of worked somewhat, but it may also of needed a fuel pump..it was a real head scratcher at 12 years old.
on duel 4's on a v8 tunnel ram Ive seen the fuel pulled right out of the bowel vents at high speed with no air cleaner. lots of fuel....

Parts have started to arrive for the new engine combo.

The newest generation of 044 head casting is terrific. Much cleaner casting. The chambers are thicker and they have moved the valves around a bit to increase strength. The chambers are of a much tighter design too, so should be much better for flame propagation = hp.

And finally taking the leap to get rid of the distributor all together. Next on the chopping block.......carburation.....

Well, Changes are a comin' This was taken yesterday. The car was parked after spending the weekend at the big Easter car show (and picked up some hardware). The last time it will run with carbs, merged header and a distributor based ignition system. New heads are sitting in the basement and a CB Gen 4 will be ordered next month.

The last run.

Well, I finally pulled my orange buggy out of mothballs and have been driving it every day the weather is good. I've put almost a thousand miles on it in the last month and a bit. Love this little 1904 I built for it, great pep and scoots along at 75mph easily. I've got my high geared Bonneville transaxle in it so at 75 it's loping along at around 2600rpm. Can easily grab the dipstick when I get off the highway after an hours cruz

I stripped the engine in the race car down to the long block and then pulled the heads off. The parts from CB should be shipping this week so I'll spend the next couple of days cleaning up the heads and big beef manifolds and getting them ready to sell. Tonight I mocked up the crank trigger wheel and sensor, took out my trust old 009, pulled the lightened drive pinion and put in the blanking plug.

Yesterday I finally got some free time and got the bodywork stripped off the car which is kind of involved as I have to remove the brakes and calipers as well as the caliper brackets off the axle tubes and then undo 36 fasteners per side.

Then I removed the seat and belts, dash and wiring, all the shifter linkage and steering shaft so I can either redo or clean up parts. The salt air at Bonneville rusts any exposed metal almost instantly. Most of the hardware will get tossed and replaced with new, non-rusty stuff. I use stainless hardware in non structural or safety applications but most is zinc coated and rusts almost as fast as bare metal.

Parcel from CB should be here next Tuesday, going to broker it tonight not looking forward to paying the taxes on this package......

Looking forward to see how fast Broke gets you, or how fast you go Broke. (Have not figured that out yet myself)

I did not clean my buggy each day while at the Atlantic Beach last fall like I normally would. The chassis the body was on is going to get scrapped/recycled anyway due to a new chassis build this coming Winter. The corrosion is horrendous. I must have gone through water deep enough that it got into a CV and junked out a 930 Porsche joint. Chrome is ruined, (that too is getting scrapped) and even waxed Aluminum took a beating. Because I use soo much dielectric grease, the Rebel Wiring harness is still in great shape and savable.

Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone

The jaws on my Dads little Unimat lathe needed some repair when I did this, so I had to use a little cruder method but you get the idea.
