No, read my post again - it was a 3.4 V6. With 24 valves and 4 camshafts it was reckoned to be a fair fight against the single cam 16 valve V8's. The air intake thing isn't important with "full race" engines, you strip them down after a couple of races anyway. Best to let them breathe as much air as possible without restriction.

A 5.0L V6? Or do you mean it was a 5.0L V8 originally, chopped down to a 3.4L V6? Nasty car in any case...for some illogical reason, I never liked V6's much, but when they're built right and put in the right car, they make some awesome engines. I love the way this one sounds, and the individual throttle bodies are just cool. I always wondered about how the lack of filtering affected open-intake cars. Doesn't grit get inside the engine? I sure wouldn't want to daily-drive like that! Maybe 1 race.

So it ONLY had leaf springs to locate the axle? What about axlewrap and all that? That's insane...why didn't they use traction bars or a 4-link or something? Was it against regs, or what?

The Cologne bit was the name of the bodykit, cologne arches etc, after the german capris from germany, also the 2.8 and 2.9 Crap v6s compared to the proper ESSEX 3.0 v6
