quote:I do recall you saying that the Kinsler setup was on an engine you had purchased. Did you get any interest in/sell the Fontana block & C302B's?
Interest yes, but nobody has come up with the scratch yet. I expect it to take a while to move them unless I want to give them away, and that is not the case.
quote:I have a set of the C302B's here on the shelf, maybe I'll go wild and drop them on the GT40 one of these days.
They're great heads.
quote:I know very little about the in-lines for reliability, tuning etc.?
They were never homologated for any racing that required it, were discontinued before they became fully developed, and had no real impact on the racing programs. Having said this, they are very novel and reliable because they are elegantly simple. Not as tunable as Weber IDAs but that is both the good and bad news. Tuning is basically limited to just accel pump shot, mains, and idle jets. These are all accessible from the top of the carb. You can fuss with emulsion tubes and other aspects but it really doesn't gain you much. IMO, IR is the only practical use for the larger inlines and they can be quite good performers in this configuration. The prostock drag racers had a tendancy to suck the fuel bowls dry. For road racers there were some issues with slosh under hard braking and acceleration that was easily addressed with simple bowl baffles where needed.
quote:Do I take it these are for sale?
Yes, but they are very sought after by collectors and thus very pricey. Happy to talk to you off line if interested.
quote:Are you still casting your own IDA manifolds and putting together EFI systems?
Still casting? -No. Just too busy with work. I could potentially put together a system from existing parts or potentially split the one advertsied with the Fontana and C302Bs if you were interested.
quote:On another note did you ever manage to find a pair of ZF side mounts?
No but I have not called any of the vendors except Quella yet. -No go with Dennis Q.
