Description:

This motor was originally built by Hasselgren in the late 70s/early 80s & was last raced in the late 80s at the Palm Springs Vintage event. Hasselgren put a newly ground exhaust cam in it, checked the springs & reassembled the head. A Cosworth head gasket was used & new timing belt, bearings were checked & found to be very good (the engine had never run since a rebuild in the 90s) & the engine was dynoed by Paul in August of 2010, but has not been run since. Weber 45 DCOEs (Italian, not Spanish) are newly rebuilt. The plan was to use it in a vintage FB car that had been updated to Atlantic specs, but we are now returning the car to it's original Lotus Twin Cam specification. The BDD has a mild cam & has a good torque range with the aim of excellent reliability. We would be interested in trades for a trailer, a good Twin Cam, tow vehicle, or?
