Need the rear output shaft housing for a long tail Quaif Rocket Box Ford 4 speed transmission. Threads stripped where the shift lever housing screws into the case and there isn't enough metal in the case to weld up a repair. Bob Hess

Just to respond to the comments about what I wrote above, what I said was what exists now, not giving an opinion.

After transferring from 22 years in PCA to SCCA 35 years ago I remember all the fun we had running EP, FP, and HP. Finally in '97 we went full time HP in the Joe Hufaker Sr.built Bugeye HP car we bought originally for autocrossing and track days. Lots of competition, lots of nice folks having...

I've run both styles of roll bars over the years but one of my cars has an asymetrical rear hoop but with a narrow matching front hoop tied to it with fore and aft tubes. It must work because the former owner/builder got the car upside down twice without hurting the driver or the hoops. I agree...

Good morning Jason. Bob

Can't help on the the pulleys but have 2 sources for the belts if you need them.

Ironically It's going to a Brit who's family has a Bugeye racing background. Met him at Sebring a couple years ago helping him with a rough Bugeye he'd just purchased. He's been drooling all over my car ever since and finally decided to take the plunge. He's a CFR member so we get to watch it...

Great discussion but the killing of the HP enthusiasm years ago by putting the Hondas, VWs, etc. in the class certainly had an effect on numbers going for Runoff spots. When we bought our Runoffs level Sprite in '03 with the intention of going to the Runoffs we wound up right in the middle of a...

Yes. CR upped o 12.1.

Car sold.

Yes. It's been 13 since early 1974 and the color is Ford Grabber Blue.

It's a full legal LP engine that only needs flat top pistons to bring the CR up to recent allowed level. It's got the best of everything in it. I'd put a picture of it in here but as usual my pictures are "too large to process". They "process"every where else but here. Bob

1275 full race engine, Ford T-4 Quaife geared transmission, 3,9 LS rear gear, double wishbone front suspension, coil over rears, disc brakes all around, Accusump. Pictures and info sheet available. Contact: bobnandy1@ bellsouth.net. $14,000. Car in Florida. Will be at Sebring at the end of the...

Just to shed some light on weird repairs on the BMC engines we bought a 948 14.1 cr engine that had one of the intake chambers break through into the water jacket. It was repaired with JB Weld and we didn't find that out until we had raced the engine for 5 years. It's still in there.

Any time. Just paying forward all the help and ideas I've gotten over all these years of building and repairing cars.

I wouldn't weld in the stud unless everything else tried has failed. You don't have to weld all the way into the threads to repair most cases so leaving the stud in supports the welding process. If you need to weld into the thread area then plan on recutting the threads or if required put a...

No. I'm guessing the previous owner exceeded the torque range. We torque ours to 20 lbs using ARP lube and 25 lbs with oil. Bob

Had one crack on a 948 head. Left the stud in and had the best welder I've ever seen weld it up. That was 25 years ago and it's still good. Welding cast iron is not complicated but you have to know what you are doing. I've used brass to repair cast iron but it didn't seem to be proper for this...

I probably shouldn't give you this information since we will be running against each other pretty soon but here is what we run behind the 1275 engines. Our Taylor transmission has 1.8, 2.1, 2.3, and 1.1 gears in front of a 3.9 rear gear. Tried a 3.7 but it slowed turn exit speeds. Use the same...
