Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Original Ford engine number

« on: August 16, 2016, 23:12:35 »

Hello from Switzerland !
   I am owning AK1240 build in 1988 originally with a 5.0 EFI engine with 224 HP.
   One of the pre-owners in Germany let the engine tune according to Ford Motorsport specifications delivering >>400 HP with 4 Weber double carbs. Unfortunately, the tuner (American Car Service Düsseldorf) changes the Motor number.
   Recently, I moved to Switzerland and there I need a "Abgaswartungsdokument" (emission control document) for the Swiss technical authority with the original Ford engine number. Has anybody an idea how I can find our what the original engine number for my Mk IV was?
   Best regards from Thunderbold

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Certificate of Conformity

« on: October 29, 2015, 22:02:23 »

Hi Gentlemen,
   I moved recently to Switzerland and my Mk IV lightweight Spec 1988 AK 1240 is still in Germany. For getting a registration in Switzerland I need a Certificate of Conformity (CoC). The car has a modified 302 engine with 4 Weber double carbs and produces >400 HPs. I have a complete set of German papers including all modifications.
   However, I have no idea where I can get a CoC with the technical data fitting to my car. Who can help?

Gentlemen, I am terribly sorry bothering you with insignificant issues. However, I am looking for some of the small black rubber parts the engine bonnet is resting on. Where can I get those? Regards from Hermann

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / New Tires

« on: September 29, 2013, 11:50:47 »

Gentlemen, because of steering wheel vibrations I recently visited the tire specialist for balancing, however, I learnt the the front tires have a flattening due to long standing. So, I need an new pair of front tires 225/60R15. Currently front and rear tires are Avon CR6ZZ an they are 2 years old and around 1500 miles. The prices for such tires here in Germany are currently unbelievable. Any recommendation where to order in UK?
   
   By the way, I heard that the Avon tires are the best for Cobras. However, what about the nice-looking Good Year Eagle with big white letters you often see on old pictures. Some of the Shelby Cobras are delivered with those tires. I assume they are not register for Europe.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Salisbury diff over-heated

« on: July 24, 2013, 00:51:20 »

After driving with elevated speed on the German highway the Salisbury diff of my Mk IV 427 (>400 HP) produces terrible cracking in narrow corners particularly when I am starting. I assume that the diff is then over-heated. Is there an suitable way for cooling the diff ?
   Are there maybe finned diff covers available?
   KInd regards from Frankfurt Germany
