Saw these Sunbeams at Lime Rock on Saturday.
The red street car had a 2.3 Ford. The race cars were both 1725 engines.
Didn't see any Tigers or "Algers" in spectator parking which is unusual.

do you have a plan for making panels to force all the air that comes through the grille to go through the radiator core? on the '04 V8 corvair, i made my cardboard templates and ran out of time to make them out of anything better, so just painted the templates black and ran the event. LOL.

Hey Karl , I think it's great what your doing. My question is , What master cylinder are using with the bigger ford front brakes?
On my alpine , I too am using a mustang front brake but have not got on the road yet.
