Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build

[Dragsinger]

Jeff had two good days of progress with roughing in wiring and working on other areas. Fuel plumbing and intake manifold completion are next.

Team Woodfin:
Really enjoying reading about your build. These forums can be such a great learning tool! You see things behind the scenes that you may not notice once the build is complete. Looking forward to hanging out with you guys and watching it go down the track.


ps - for those who don't know the Woodfins personally I can tell you they are both a class act!

Because of the tall deck block and sheet metal intake the manifold end rail gap is wider than usual. To correct that two 1/2" thick Delrin spacers are dowel pinned to the block. Now only a .035" gap requires sealing with RTV.

We have the body back on to check fit in several areas, one area being the dash panel.
Once the templet is satisfied a panel of carbon fiber will take it's place.

Also, race cars with EFI require extra wires

a few update photos. Everything is still in the pattern, rough in stage yet we are making progress.

Did you dyno the engine? That car should haul the mail for sure.

[Dragsinger]

No dyno for now, it is an option for later. The plan is to make some shake down runs and see what we have then make that decision.

Judging by head flow and other parameters ET is expected 4.60 - 4.50 range 1/8 mile.

Another round of updates coming soon.
