Here's some pics of the new engine Im building up to go with that LSD. Its a 2.5 S motor. Lightened flywheel, no ancillaries, slightly increased compression. Should be fun!

Flywheel is the stock steel one lightened to about 10lbs with a lightened Sachs pressure plate. CR was achieved by shaving the head, cc'd it and it should be about 11.3:1. It will also be running without the cat, ps pump, A/C, and is underdriven on the altenator.

do i see campy 8 speed and shamals on a steel frame?
not only has that thing bullet proof, but i bet it rides sweet too.
i cant wait to hear how the motor does, ive dreamed of building the same setup...

Haha yeah on an early nineties Eddy Mercx steel frame. Its got all the fancy fabrication options. Pretty cool old bike! I might have time to ride it if I could clean the garage and finish this car project!

No chip - would love to have the 944SMax chip - but dont have the money to justify it. The car is 2690 with the driver, and has the low 924S gears- so it should be pretty quick!

Kudos on the Merckx frame and the Shamal sighting - totally missed it the first time through, but can just make out 1/2 of Eddy's mug on the head tube. Lol!
. . . and the engine is sexy too.
