I
never thought I would see the day when AN
Racing traded the Superoo for the Lion. A
partially restored LH SLR Torana caught his
eye at a workshop and Sash instantly negotiated
with the owner.
The
next day the car was delivered and the program
of rebuilding the vehicle began. The engine
that was in the car was a stock standard late
model 304. Sash proceeded to build a 336 cubic
inch stroker which by todays standards is
considered an old school combination. Engine
specs are as follows. Small journal chevy
rods, chevy flat top pistons which equates
to 10:5 compression, solid camshaft with a
crow grind. The car is running street ported
EFI heads, crane valve springs and a set of
Yella Terra shaft rockers. A single plane
Harrop manifold and a Holley 750 double pumper
carburettor sits up top.
Hanging off the
back of the engine is a Yella Terra steel
flywheel and a Hays Street and Strip clutch
bolted to a Ford Top Loader gearbox. Shifting
duties are done via a Hurst Indy shifter with
an AN Racing conversion kit. This places the
shifter in the drivers hand as intended. A
tough as nails 9 inch diff with 31 spine axles
and 4.11 mini spool resides out back.
Sash
predicts that this vehicle should run somewhere
close to the 11.30 ET mark at approximately
118MPH. The car drives nice and tight with
plenty of power on tap.
Sash
assures me that the vehicle will be sold so
if you are interested in buying a turn key
street/strip car please contact him at AN
Racing.
