This car is owned by Craig Merrow in Wells, Maine, USA.
Power comes from a Gene Berg 1776cc with ported heads, 35 X 32mm valves, Engle V-26 cam, 6.6 to 1 CR to run 87 octane fuel, 1.4 ratio rockers, counterweighted crank with lightened flywheel, Berg 1.5 inch primary tubed headers and a Borla muffler.
Craig machined his own 38mm throttle bodies to replace the Weber 42DCNFs. The injectors are Nippondenso 19 lb./hr. A Volvo pump and regulator are used. An SDS EM-3 4E/MSD controls the fuel and spark. Craig reports much improved driveability over the carbs and 25mpg with the car fully loaded and being driven hard on a highway trip.
