Hi thought this looks like an interesting 2.8; reasonably priced, has anyone driven one of these 3.7 cologne conversions?

I imagine they go well
Dr B had a 3.6 for sale a couple of years ago.

This car was at Brooklands in 2014, it was in terrific condition then and it doesn't look as if it's changed much since.

Re: 3.7injection
Nice looking car and looks pretty standard, no one would know of the upgrade

Re: 3.7injection
Very nice. I wonder if they used the standard crank from the 4.0 litre Cologne that was used in the Explorer & Mustang or if this was a purpose made crank.
Re: 3.7injection
Yes I believe they used the 4.0L crank and offset ground the crank with 0.060" oversize bearing to increase the stroke 2mm, from 84mm to 86mm stroke. Bore was 95mm IIRC. 3660ccNot_Anumber wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 3:54 pm Very nice.

Re: 3.7injection
Only 223 brake for all that displacement? Am I missing something? Like the point?
