Boss 330 Racing Interview - Overhead-Cam Conundrum - Tech
|
There are a couple of things to note in this picture. The first is the corroded, stock Ford GT rod on the right. Papitto told us that what you see on the connecting rod is just a small sample of the corrosion that had occurred in the engine due to the extended use of high-octane, leaded race fuel. Frequent oil changes can somewhat quell this situation and should be mandatory when using that type of fuel. The spindly connecting rod and piston on the left is a stock Shelby GT500 unit. Papitto says that while the rod is plenty strong, they still use the cracked cap design, which isn't the best in a high-performance application. View Related Article
