Building a 348 Le Mans Race car for the road

I think I know where one of these cars is in Ft Lauderdale Fl. It needs restoring. Also, thought I read that the 348LM cars made near 500hp?

Interesting. These cars don't seem to have a very successful race history. The engines reportedly made 450 Hp at 9500 rpm or so and used 355-ish throttle body intakes, IIRC.

 

Sounds like a verrry interesting project......

Haven't had the time to even drive the 348 let alone do any work on it.

Going to put it in to storage for the time being and may get someone to work on it later this year.

 

Sorry to hear that but quite understand.

Be sure to pack everything very carefully - it would be a shame to dig this out in a few months only to find that certain items have gone astray.

Good luck, I look forward to a future reactivation of this thread.

 

Maybe I can help you for your information about degreeing those cams if still needed? kind regards stanguellini

 

Thanks, but I'm either going to put int into storage or sell it on. Certainly not going to do anything very soon.

 

Yeah, that could work!

 

Sell? Sell what??? Le Mans motor? Dayum, now I have to find some cash.

 

Considering it.

I want to get this.

Panasonic AF101 so I can do some documentary features. Costs around £10,000

What the f*** is that about?

 

Yo Sy.

Could you burn me a copy of your ecu chips?

 

Am I missing something?

What happened? This seemed a great project, the first time I read the thread, and it fellapart without a hint of what happened?

Mike

 

Lots of reasons.....

Basically, I got tired of waiting for it to be completed.

I purchased it nearly 15 months ago and so far only the heads have been removed. I'm not a mechanic so I can't do it myself. Plus, I've set up a new business and it's taking up all my time and money.

I won't put it in this summer/autumn as I want to be using the car. Hence why it's in storage.

I am talking to a couple of companies though that may work on it this year, but a friend is also interested it buying it off me. FDunds from teh sale will allow me to buy another video camera.

Plus, I'm thinking of doing a modification on my existing engine that may give an extra 50bhp, taking it to 370bhp plus.

So it's a lot of things really.

 

awesome thread, sorry to hear it may be sold, but that's how things go! LOL ...please talk any new owner to continue this thread/updates for us!

....here's the digi-vid-cam i lust for (someday!) http://www.red.com/

 

That's an awesome Camera.

Looking forward to seeing the "Scarlet" one.

 

Sooooooooo.... I've been talked out of selling it, so it's going into storage until I can find someone who can rebuild it for me.

Will update this thread in a years time.

 

Send it to QV London.

 

Cool man!!

See you in a year.

Baby Sy has REALLY been keeping you busy!

 

By whom? I'd like to buy them a drink next time I'm in the area.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

...... it was your quote! You tell me?

 

The first one was but the second was something you originally said

Sounds to me you are just being a prick.

 

whoa there mate.... I'm still around. It's the engine going into storage, not me

Gee355 and Dave Helms.

I got the feeling that Dave would fly over here just to kick my ass if I sold it.

 

Hmmmm... could use a set myself
