Such Fun …. Our project is a Manx II with an original gel coat… Our main goals for this project was to maintain the "Manx Motif" … yet still attain the extended travel.
Using the Manx II body as a jig, we fabricated a tube frame. A front beam from "Suspensions Unlimited" with 10" towers and 2.5" extended arms. For rear they built us 3X2 arms that we added 28 MM torsions with 930 CVs to for that 14" of travel.
The Interior sports the sublime simplicity of "Bead Seats" and Auto Meter Gauges.
For power … 84 X 94.0MM (2332) Machine to a compression Ratio 8.5:1 by Ray Riffle. Mini "D" heads, Hemi cut, ported polished and flow matched to twin 44 IDFs by Jim Learch. A special ground Web Cam 253 = 495 lift, 243 Duration … No ratio rockers needed @ 0.005, 105 lobe center. And a Joel Mohr built close ratio 002 trans.
