I've got a question regarding float levels in the 32/36 DGV carb. (I've got a five year old Ivey prepared carb and last boiled it out about a year and a half...
Just curious as I have lost track of the car in the last couple of years. - I raced this 61 from about 1984 to 1988 - 61 FF 179, AM 180. Bought it for the...

Carl, Make sure you get Mike to provide a brief story on his MGB. The car is a piece of Canadian racing history that he has faithfully restored. Mike brought...
Carl, Please take the following as pure guesswork and probably wrong. I had a similar experience at Tustin Thunder many years ago. My carb was prepped by...

Kyle, Thanks for your reply. There are some 'near professional' tuners and builders on this site who DID NOT provide any assistance. Your answer, although not...
Can anyone confirm the length of their clutch throwout bobbin? I'm finally putting a hewland in the 51 to replace the Renault box. Got one in parts but it...
Here's the dilemma: It depends on the bell housing and the pressure plate and clutch you use. Isn't that helpful? Brent In a message dated 10/7/2008 8:19:26...
Ah yes, sorry. Clutch is standard ford. I guess I could get a bell housing measurement. Was thinking it was lotus made but I guess not? The Renault one was...
There is lotus made and then there is duplicated lotus made and then there is...... I have seen three, each a little off and one quite a bit different Really...
Andrew, It's a simple solution, but one only you can figure out. When the gearbox is demated, lay a straightedge across the diaphram on the pressure plate and...
Hi everyone! I just sold my Van Diemen RF76 and bought myself a Lotus 61 for restoration. Most parts are there but I'm missing the engine/gearbox adapter and...
Henrik, Congratulations on your 'new car'. The adapter for the Lotus 61 is 3 1/4" thick. There should be many sources for one in England, but since I'm in...
An engine swap from uprated to non-uprated is straight forward unbolt one and bolt in the other, but you cant just swap out heads if that is what you meant....
Henrik, As Andrew said, the two engines are a direct exchange in the car. The motor mount bosses on the Cortina are 3/8" narrower than the uprated block so you...
BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO GETTING AN UPRATED BLOCK YOU SHOULD CHECK AROUND....................THE UPRATED BLOCK BOSS, WHERE THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS IS 3/4 INCH...
I don't know if anyone would object in Monoposto or the FF group, but I have had the tappet bores on my 105E (3 main bearing, 997cc) Ford engine enlarged to...
Roger, I assume your referring to a formula Junior or F3 engine, with the 105E block? My understanding is that the later lifter for the Cortina engine will...
Mike, Your dimensions are off a bit. The '711M' (uprated) block is 3/8" wider than the '681F' (Cortina) block. Note these two photo's. The first is the drivers...
Carl, You are correct about this being a FJr engine, but that just means it is revving higher than a FF engine. And if a tappet goes south, it usually takes...
Hi and thank´s for the advice. I still have my spare engine from the RF76 sitting on my bench new and ready to go so it´s really a matter of deciding if I...
Henrik, As far as I know, the adapters sold by Taylor are the same as sold by Lee Chapman and are probably sourced from a foundry in Michigan, USA. Roger ...
