Fontana 4cyl Race Engine
« on: June 18, 2013, 05:34:44 PM »
Up for sale is a complete Fontana 4cyl engine, which was run in a number of
Bonneville / El Mirage land speed cars. In 2009 it was in #788 F/GS and set a
record at 201 on a 191.

4.040" x 3.550"
182.02 cu in displacement
Velasco Billet Crankshaft
Carrillo Billet 6" Rods
Venolia Pistons w/casidium coated pins
043 043 3/16 rings
Ford Yates Head (flow 380 at 700 lift)
Titanium valves
T&D rocker arms
55mm comp cam
Moroso vacuum pump
Hogan intake w/electronic fuel injection
Motec ECU
Custom oil pan (wet sump)
Aviad oil pump
Starter
Comes with extra Comp cams w/oversized journal, T&D Rockers, and Hogan intake

It threw a rod but was welded up, had the rod replaced and resleeved the cylinder,
it HAS run since and hasn't had any further problems. Runs gas and is complete except
for the ignition system. Email me at Seanpat.Romero@gmail.com for lots more pictures or
to make an offer. Asking $11,000 or best offer. Buyer is responsible for
shipping but I can get it on a palette for you so it can be picked up.

By the way the engine can be brought to any El Mirage or Bonneville event.

That picture of it in the '29 is the background on my computer at work.  The motor sure gets a lot of comments and complements.  The "conversation piece" aspect of it is worth a few $.
