Factory R2 Quest - Over!

Jun 19, 2006 46 Replies

Way off topic but I had a Twilight Zone Experince in Barnes and Noble the other day. I was reading a book on The Tower of London and these two teenie boper girls were reading rap lyrics from some book. As I sat there reading (out loud) they were reading lyrics that mentioned the Tower of London. With all the books and subjects in there what are the chances?

John,

I was wondering what the R2 engine is. Is this a totally rebuilt engine. Would all necessary brackets and super charger be included?

I am building an E9 clone pickup, and originally thought about putting in a SBC, but think it would be more fun to put an R2 in it.

Thanks for the info.

Also rebuilt R2 eng> John,

The return line, to the tank, is 1/4". The fuel line from the tank to the pump, is 3/8". The lines from the pump to the sediment bowl and carb are

5/16". Considering the restriction in the return port on the sediment bowl, (.030" or .040"), there isn't enough flow through the return to provide useful cooling. It does relieve pressure at the carb inlet when the engine is shut off, and prevent some flooding when the car is parked hot. That looks like a complete Avanti "RS" engine. People struggle to collect all those parts. It seems a shame to scatter them. There are a lot of differences, compared to the "JTS" engines. Even the valve covers and supercharger itself are different. Mike M.
