Reply to "Longchamp with a blown gasket"

finlandeseMember

There are no emission testing for pre-1977 cars in Finland. I believe the engine is unaltered. Longchamps of that era should have 8,5:1 compression ratio with 270hp at 5000 rpm.

Problem here is that I need to brief the guys in Italy fairly soon on what to do to the engine, without the possibility of taking my time to check out the engine properly. The company is a very well known general classic car dealer, but it is not naturally a specialist on Detroit power. It makes sense for me to let them do the head gasket work over there, as it makes it so much easier for to have real running car when it´s shipped to Finland. Now I just need to figure out what else would make sense considering my goals when the car is "finished".

P.s. From Finland with six dollars per gallon..

P.s, p.s. Sorry for bothering you guys while I really don´t know what I´m talking about..
