I didnt reccognize the bore and stroke specs, which lead me to believe,
that it was in fact a french power plant. The avenger had a british unit
very similar to the 1725 engine did it not?
Does the avenger engine possibly bolt up to an alpine bellhousing?
I was kind of hoping that they were using the old 1725 power plant as I
could have possibly interested them into buying the plans to my 1725 fuel
injection system.
Se' la vie.
I found all this nifty info, not looking for Peykan/Paykans, but rather
looking
for vintage racing info.
Found refference to the Peykans in a "Peking to Paris rally" website that
ran last year. There were something like 8 Iranian teams racing in
brand spanking new Paykan Hunter 1800s. Kind of funny having new
old cars in a vintage ralley.
I'd love to see any new info like specs and the like for the Paykan
Hunter.
Also, I would still very much like to see some technical info for the
Avenger.
I know it may sound sordid, but I am considering racing a Plymouth
Cricket
along with my alpine.
>BTW last time I looked, Iran was in the northern hemisphere.
Now, I have been catching a lot of flack on this one,
Yes, I know that Iran is North of the equator, but if you all re-read my
message,
I was saying that Australia, and Argentina in thier dimentia, seem not to
want to
let the old ford falcons die off. Non-emmisions VW beetles made new in
Brazill and
Mexico, and also, I hear that all kinds of cars from the 50s and 60s are
still
produced in kit form in Peru.
Wierd stuff, must be the negative corriolis effect.
Sorry Russell, just jabbin at the people down under.
