[Thomas591]

Hello Hess,

thank you for going throu the trouble of writing down the part numbers. I have a question about the front hub bearing: The bearing LM48548/LM48510 is the outer or inner bearing? Do you also know the dimensions of the corresponding bearing?

Kind regards

Thomas

Car looking great and coming together really quickly!
You should do the Southport Sprint in it and we can have a head to head!
Spurred on by you I'll update my rambling thread!
All the best

Dear all,

I hope you are well.

I have finally finished the full engine rebuild for my 411 S4 !!

I've gone with the following for the rebuild

+.030" Flat top cast pistons 4.250"
Lunati Voodo High lift Cam
Edelbrock 2186 Performer intake
Edelbrock AVS 650cfm Electric choke carburettor
Custom S/S headers
Electric ignition
High flow aluminium water pump
Pertronix Flamethrower ignition coil
and a few more upgrades

All other parts on the engine are brand new - sparks, leads, alternator, gaskets, power steering pump etc...

Thanks !

[Thomas591]

Very interesting!

I have a few more questions:
-Which duration does the camshaft that you have used have?
-Roller camshaft or standard hydraulic lifters?
-Does these headers really clear the chassis rails? Who made them? Price?
-Cylinder heads are left standard?

Please report, maybe when the engine has run in, the fuel consumption.

Sorry for being so inquisitive..

Regards

Thomas
