About 20 of these engines were fitted to cars and were in seven of the top 10 finishers in the Hardie-Ferodo Bearing clearances on the nodular iron crankshaft could be excessive, too. It was that sort of process that was important to keeping bearing clearances. In the end, it was a matter of keeping temperature out of the oil so that it was possible for the oil to last km. In standard form the number one bearing tended to go short of oil.
But the QC motors featured revised oil pump and gallery systems to solve this problem. There were performance gains, too. Cc-ing of the chambers, work on the valve seating and exhaustive blueprinting added up to a palpable feeling under the right foot. The factory claim though was unchanged at But I did find some old dynamometer test sheets from the engine tests I ran on the Alan Moffat and John French race engines just prior to the Bathurst race.
Those engines produced brake horsepower at rpm. Those engines were fully blueprinted of course and used an exhaust which was open.
Stockings estimated the standing quarter-mile time at With a fully blueprinted engine, track exhaust system and racing tyres this came down to about Chassis modifications are then listed. They include higher rate springs all round, thicker front sway bar, special high performance Daytona-type rear axle with choice of 3.

Two hundred cars would have Bathurst gearing with 50 each of 3. The track, of course, was much narrower then than now. Perhaps Caltex Chase added three to four seconds to lap times in Because the track was by then so superior in width and surface, the handicap of Caltex Chase was almost cancelled out. In '72 the rear brakes blew up and they needed to be doctored and I went back from first to ninth.
The next year was with Pete Georghegan in , we won that race. It was really incredible. I played a role in developing the car because I was behind the steering wheel. We had specialist engineers on different components such as the motor and transmission. Some would work all day at Ford and then come over to the workshop to do a night shift. It was a shame the whole supercar scare came along.
