New toy.......100% Quad free

Hi all,

I found this sitting in a shed a week ago, and today i finally picked it up and brought it home!



Its a 1976 Image ff2b formula ford thats been modified and use for hillclimbs, from what i can find out i dont think its been used since 2007.
Its running a 1600 kent crossflow on twin 40s, but i do find myself wondering what she would be like with a turbo'd ABF and an audi gearbox?! Should be an easy way to get 240-250 bhp?! = 600bhp/ton 

Always happy to hear comments good or bad

Cheers

Id avoid turbos on a car like that, comin on boost unexpectedly would be a terror! Be an awesome drive tho. Personally id run it as it as, a restoration project with track time!

Awesome

Very nice mate! That's a pretty F40 shell next to it too!

I'd second what houston said and avoid turbo. I'd keep it as a high revving NA engine

Cheers for the comments guys.

Havent really made my mind up what to do yet, need to give it a good clean first and see what needs doing. But trackdays are definately on the horizon!

Another idea was a ZZR1400 hooked up to a sierra diff, should be 190bhp stock and very rev happy?!

(The F40 is a very long term project, 9 years now!)

I was just about to comment saying that a motorcycle engine would be pretty sweet, it'd be perfect I think...Lots of revs, good power from stock and lots if tuned and sequential gearbox

Whatever you do, don't butcher it!! put it back to original 76 FF spec, and enter it into Historic events, do you have any of the original body moulding's, or the moulds for that matter... changing the spec would be absolute sacrilege, don't do it!
Find the original driver/owner, and put some history, and provenance behind it, even re do it in its original livery... that could be an extremely valuable car one day

What Thom said.

I'd love to see a VW powered one of these though, maybe that can be a separate project!
