356 outlaw coming up for sale

Can you tell us what's in the engine- cam? heads? compression ratio? carbs? exhaust? how high does it rev with power?

Currently has the FK-9 took out the FK-89. Compression ration now is 9.5/1 was built for 12/1. 3 hr or less sand rail dragster motor when I bought, owner had moved up to turbo's with the rest of his buddies with a new motor built by P Pettruci in Michigan. I have meet the builder and the motor was designed to drop the cluth at 12G in the sand, told me it could get expensive over 8,500 rpm. Max. for me on occasion 7500, commonly 4500. Carbs are empi 44, thought I might save on gas as a daily driver (joke on me!).

Exhaust system is a ceramic but I am not impressed with coating, runs to two bazooka mufflers

"motor was designed to drop the cluth at 12G in the sand"

What does this mean?

 

I think you've spent enough on your engine to join the Stan and Ron over the top engine club. 

 

If anyone else would like to join, but don't know if they have the creds, think about adding up your engine build bills.  If that scares you, you're probably a good candidate.

Sand Rail Dragster. bought as a long block. Had a German friend who has his own VW shop. He and I split the case and his comment "never seen such fine machine work" it was then that I switched out the bump stick

So when's it going up for sale, and for how much?

(with and without motor)

Good aft.
Once the paint is done I want to install a couple of new VDO oil / temp
gauges and will have to get the sensors in place (twin pole pressure ( we
all have single for idiot light ) and VDO oil temp sensor into the
additional oil sump (rats more syn. down the drain).
I have found a source for a 6 gang fuse block that I can add to my existing
24. VDO "do not deviate from instructions" and in my case means more fuses.
Sorry for not being able to answer your question directly at this point.
The car is loaded with extra equipment and has only been driven approx. 900
miles since new engine ( split open and checked / incredible work ) and
additional performance gear installed. Time is not a factor just hobby for
a retired guy. Do expect a respectable return on parts.
Thanks very much for your interest, Hopefully you saw the pictures.
I will keep track and once the paint job is done will send you a note.
I need to look through the folder to recall all that was added.
Take care,Ken
