So that's what the funnel thing on the Rad does! I hadn't figured that one out yet.
Want to bet that the only cooling the radiator is good for then is what air the intake pulls through it?
Stripping volitles out of the oil or a 2-stroke mix in the crank could work, and seems to be in the spirit and theme of FE competitions. Cheating!
Otherwise it's the biggest PCV ever installed on a car.
Plus, it's an engineers plaything for 1 competition. You run it total loss. If we blow the engine, so what? It's a one-shot deal using old stuff they picked up dirt cheap. You can bet they pulled atleast the backup compression rings off, and probably the oil scrapers. The more I think about it, the sump is probably almost dry, you don't want to rob anything from the crankshaft splashing through oil. I wouldn't be surprised if just to start it took heatguns, a guy adding propane, a guy just to work the carb settings...
So it started off as a wagon, then they went all Ranchero style on it, chopped on it angrily, and put lightening holes everywhere, the interior was gutted and lightened... It's not even CLOSE to the 2100 - 2500 lb curb weight mentioned earlier.
BUT, why didn't they do an aerodynamic seal on the grille in the front? Babymoons or full spheres in the headlights instead of the blanking plates? Or run lighter, narrower motorcycle rims&tires instead of aircraft tires?
