    At least you are still a sucker for these beauties!

    Do you plan on going to the FCA event at Road America in the 2013 Summer?

    0854 and 0846...surely the perfect pair!

    0854 build is coming on nicely, thanks for the update. That engine is truly a work of art, as is most of the car!

    This photo and Jim's #854 engine photo clearly disprove that Ferrari's F1 effort suffered at that time because the F1 engine was a modified sportscar one ...

    0854's Engine is a P3 Engine.

    0846's Engine is a P4 Engine.

    They are quite different.

    The P4 Engine could be built as either a sports car engine or an F1 engine.

    The same block by changing rods and crank journal bushings could be varied from 3 to 4 liters.

    Different heads could be fitted reversing the exhaust to the center valley (F1) or the out side (P4).

    The distributor's could be mounted vertically (P4) or horizontally (F1).

    The 1967 F1 and P4 engine used the same blocks.

    Cheers

    Just finished reading this thread from post #1. Amazing journey, and thank you for sharing!

    This is also my first post, so please excuse me. I thought it had been decided that the correct color for the wheels would be "full baby blue". However, it appears that the wheels are currently gold/blue. Has the decision changed, or simply "not yet corrected"?

    I met you briefly at this year's Americana in Manhassett. I brought my unrestored '67 Healey BJ8. It was a pleasure experiencing your entry this year, and I look forward to experiencing this car next year.

    Regards,

    Christopher

    There were two color wheels used in her last race. All Blue and Blue with a Gold rim. We chose Blue with Gold rims.

    Cool. I can only imagine how you must feel excitedly awaiting your maiden voyage in this vehicle, following your diligent resurrection over the period of 6(?) years. I know how I have felt after 2+ years of hard work bringing a prized vehicle back to driveability. The reward is overwhelming, though much deserved. I wish you the same, though I know it is already there...

    Cheers...

    I've received mine yesterday. Fantastic, even if the essential is in Japanese ! But the pics are amazing, most of them are unknown for me
    It's a kind of documentation who help us to understand and appreciate the amazing work made by Jim and his crew...Only regret : nothing about Daytona.

    Get both P4 editions and the Monaco 1967 edition. They have some really great color photos by Joe Honda. He used alot of Kodachrome back in the 1960's it seems.

    Jim, curious; are these the original carbs for this motor? Noticed accelerator pumps on the side and it was my recollection that they used DCN competition type carbs without pumps. Or were they fitted for driveability on the road. I know you like to tke those things out and scare the local citizenry and set off car alarms. Oh yes, how did you metal finish the carb bodies? They look great.

    So far as I know they are although with a lot of Comp cars things changed over time. Sal rebuilt them and cleaned them up. As they are they are fine on the street.

    How could this sort of carb work without an accelerator pump? SU's yes but not Webers.

    As a typography geek I (seriously) appreciate the attention to detail that the JG team exhibits on these projects- they are literally down to the millimeter on their paint/number positioning in most cases. Wish we saw more of that.

    We're just about ready for the final push. We've spent a lot of time rebuilding both 0846's and 0854's gearboxes with the factory spares we acquired lowering the ratio's a touch (Targa Florio from LeMans) as we think that will be better for the road.
