Cool, its a great course to feel out your car and test your skill. My car is apart with no ETA on completion currently.

I see the Hillborn Injection reference.


Please tell me it's packing a slanty with independent injector stacks.

That would be cool! Slant has a lot of low end torque perfect for the twisties.....

Looks great!!

I hope you keep the torsion bar suspension.

I think the blue one in the latest Mopar Action is really sharp as well.

Feets your


The slant has good low end torque when cimpared to other similar displacement engines. Now you want gobs of torque to hit mid corner and put you in the weeds drive my 4.25" stroked 508 Six Pack Road Runner......with radial T/A's. With the BFG Sport Comp 2's it was much more manageable.

Torque was a problem with the TT440. The small turbos would spool very quickly and made a ton of torque in the low to mid range.
Unleashing 700+ ft/lbs at the wheels would get you in trouble quickly, especially with the 45 year old non-reinforced chassis.

I hear you. It's fun to shred some tires when it's a planned performance.....after that not so much.

very cool... love to see the early A's getting built.

proportionally they are well suited and have nice lines IMO.

any renderings with a slight cowl hood rather than a scoop?

Stick with the scoop.

normally i would agree with you but the lines of the body go against the lines of the scoop.

a cowl would look nice, trust me on this!

Why wouldn't an AAR scoop that is modified also work like along the same lines as the cowl induction hood but the AAR scoop facing forward????

100%!

A 64 Max Wedge scoop or even a 64/65 Hemi scoop would look good (and more era appropriate than the six pack).
