Definitely! You can tell by the "racing paint" applied to the exhaust manifolds, the "racing fuel filter" and the "racing alternator".

 

But it doesn’t have a curved Monte Carlo bar!

 

The air cleaner thinks it is.

 

Those aren't racing hoses. Don't try to race it with those hoses. They will explode during a race. Happened to my brother once.

 

In the eyes of all the grass and lawnchair dwellers at the local car show.

 

That racing fuel filter is a nice touch, imma look into one of those.

 

The Holman-Moody Competition Proven decal affirms its racing heritage.

 

The engine shakes violently like it has an ignition misfire, and it is very loud like it has no mufflers. Was thinking of running JET FUEL?... Looking for opinions!

 

Absolutely not. Jet fuel is much lighter than gasoline, which helps aircraft fly. You want downforce and lots of weight to hold your race car on the road! Never use jet fuel in a racing car!

 

Well, it does have a couple of cool "racing" stickers stuck on it.

 

Hey what's wrong with high performance Racing Stickers...asking for a friend?

 

You can’t be serious right now!!!

 

I think he is serious ,and don't call him surely

 

Does one actually have to race a car for it to be considered a racing car? I was told that it would fly like a jet, if I run Jet fuel!

 

Good luck getting the engine to start on jet fuel.

 

I’m about to AI this post…🤣

 

AI, you say? To optimize their designs, engineers use complex computer simulations known as
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). But the calculations require so much computing
power that simulations ordinarily must make approximations, reducing accuracy, or
evaluate fewer potential designs to fit within the design cycle.

You should definitely AI your racing aviation fuel. A faster, more accurate
approach could usher in a new generation of greener, longer-lasting engines with
lower operating costs, and higher top speeds.

 

I have read lately many questions for adding some HP. I am considering purchasing some Racing oil and some Racing sparkplugs...

 

Just a time warp issue.

In 1924, this would have been a racing engine

 

I dont really have a budget, so maybe start off with like a K-N racing fuel filter?

 

I… just… can’t 😎🔫

 

By all means run down to the airport and fill some cans with JET A and dump it on in.... Don't forget to post the video.....

 

Of course it is a racing engine. What nails is for me is the Thunderbird "Competition Proven" sticker on the chrome valve cover. We all know Thunderbirds are the very best golf course parking lot racers................

 

It's all fun and games until the guy with an F-code walks you at a stop light and makes you work for it!

 

The only thing I would use jet fuel (JP5) I would be a diesel truck…

 

It’s got the HEMI

 

How do I tell if its a HEMI? Chromies?

 

OMG!!!

 

They're all racing engines. IMHO.

 

Nevertheless, I must admit,it’s a pretty clean engine bay!

 

Patrick... I thought you were on my team, we are part of the COUPE racing car brethren!

 

No way, there’s no spring on the dipstick.
