One of the nicest late lookers around right now, run by club prospect John Saxton, is this 1990 mexican bug. Running on Gas Burner wheels that attach to discs at all four corners, the car is currently apart receiving an engine transplant. Specs are:
AS41 case clearanced by scat (John had to do some additional clearancing)
CB performance 82mm crank (4340).
CB performance super race rods and ARP bolts.
Webcam 86b camshaft using straight cut gears and super vee followers.
Manton push rods.
AA 94mm pistons and barrels.
044 magnum heads with 35.5 & 40mm valves,prepared by stateside tuning.Dual valve springs.
Chromoly head/cylinder studs.
SCAT 1.4:1 ratio rockers.
CB performance oil pump.
Kennedy stage 1 clutch.
Lightened flywheel and a 3.5 pound front pulley.
Compression ratio is 9.1.
Induction will be twin 48 DRLAs.
A speedshop stainless side exit exhaust with big bore heat exchangers will be used, as, to quote John "i'm getting older and feel the cold!"
Ignition is a mix of parts that John has used to create a setup that works very well - when he bought the car it had the original factory electronic dizzy on it.John bought a 009 and used that and the electronics from the original diizzy to make a "factory" 009.
The gearbox is at present with Bears motorsport for an upgrade and will be tied in with Rhino mounts and a centre mount, along with a Torque bar to keep the rear end braced.
