pipes of peace... haha

Rays new pipes

sound 

 fucking

 awesome

seven and a half litre race tuned engine with go-faster skulls

We went back to Zero Exhaust near Ashford in Kent 

to pick up Rays trike yesterday.

The pipes with CNC cut manifolds are guaranteed for 25 years 

(if they inspect them once a year - ha).

UPDATE 

Engine is a 383 big block +60 th, with stroker crank, full race cam, Edelbrock performer heads, Edelbrock performer inlet manifold, 650 cfm 4 barrel carb, + 200 hp noz and the new zoomie pipes. torqueflight 727 box, jag 2.85:1 diff, 

Its 12' 00" long and 6' 8" wide.

Interesting figures... 

max engine rpm 

(with supercharger + noz)                         8,500 rpm

gearbox output @ 1:0 - 1:0 =                    8,500 rpm

transfer box output @ 1:0 - 1:0  =             8,500 rpm  

diff output @ 2:85 - 1:0 =                           2,9824561 rpm at the wheel

33" dia tyre =                                               103.6725" per revolution

X 2,9824561 =                                             309,198.68" pm

=292.8018 mph ???????  Yeeeee Haaaaaaaaa

I think the calculations are right but don't forget to take friction and wind factors so probably take off 50 mph - RAY


so just take off 50... 
so it will probably only do 240 mph Ray?... 
hahaha

the year is nineteen seventy seven

after party tidy up

she's covered in oil after the oil tank drain plug came out, fortunately the engine didn't seize as I'd shut down coming up to a roundabout, Sean found the bolt at the start of the oil slick, Jason was carrying a gallon of morris 20-50 oil and Sumo suggested we use the fresh cut grass on the verge to wipe the oil down

JB-Weld

the gearbox is out again to fix those leaking studs and fit a new main shaft drive seal

Oversize Bush

and fix the selector that has quite a wobble after 30 years

Oil tank Drain Bolt

and drill the bolt so it can be wired, so no more accidents

 it has a dual function and supports a third bracket - not a good idea.

(the tank was already painted by this time)

the bracket stops the tank swinging on its two upper mounting bungs where they can fracture.

a little polish and back she goes

battery tray and rear caliper next - that oil got every where

oh, and the front rocker box has decided to leak big time.

tea time treats

that loctite would come in handy
