similar dilemma with a formula ford years ago
we pushed the car up the ramps backwards (heavy end first) until the first contact, then three of us lifted the front up and pushed it in
ok, so the front of a FFord is maybe 300#, but how many guys would it take to lift the back of a 7 if the fuel tank was empty?
Although still on the fence, I was in contact with superformance over a potential purchase, and am now even more curious what the $500 "preparation" fee covers.
Ah, ok, I've only ever had live axle 7's. These were bought for a live axle, can't say if they are suitable for a deDion. Anyone out there can say one way or another? thanks
hey Paul, FWIW, when I was trying to resell that somewhat disappointing 7 I bought last year I had way more people complain about it being RHD than they did about its condition.
Never bothered me, I figured it added to the appeal, but there you go....
thx for info, but there are many 5-speed transmissions that fit a 7. When you ordered it, did they discuss options? if not, likely the standard too-low-first-5-speed. Any way you could find out?
thx
No air filter visible, so fuel injected? Stock Ford system? Stock ECU?
Where was engine sourced? What history?
Presume 5-speed box; close ratio or std T9?
thanks
Not sure the extent to which they still stock T9 stuff, but there's an incredible place in Plano, Texas called Taylor race Engineering for quaife, gearboxes, diff's, rebuilds, etc etc
Sorry, sold it 2 years ago when I moved down here, EPA wouldn't let me bring it in from Canada. Left all the paperwork with the buyer, who may still lurk here, he used to.....
Could be, or close.
FWIW, Caterham told me they sold me the last cross-flow chassis back in 2002, but then again, they told me a few things that turned out to be ....optimistic lets say. LOL
