Longchamp +100 HP

Well that's my aim, anyway. The Longchamp I bought in 2008 had all orig engine parts except an Accel distributor. The cam had a flat lobe, I think it went flat on the way home from Modena 50 years. The orig Holley carb was not functioning, had it on and off 15 times, couldn't fix it. So the engine got a new cam, Edelbrock 2V intake, Summit 600 vacuum carb, Ice ignition and the Tri-Y headers I got from Modena last year. So it's pretty quick, but no more than that, 1800 kg and a Ford C6 can dampen a lot of enthusiasm. So the next thing is a new set of heads, TFS' that will also raise compression a bit, might even increase my gas mileage, on this from time to time daily driver.

The aim is +100HP, and my ulterior motive is to outrun my friend's F348. What are friends for? Of course my Pantera can run circles around his stock F348, but wouldn't it be nice to outrun his F-car in the Longchamp as well? I think so. Big Grin



The new heads are currently on their way across the Atlantic to me, so I started making room for them.
