This beautiful Ford Falcon is the latest arrival at the Curltek workshop. It is owned and raced by Mike Jordan
The car is a recent import and is in the curltek workshop for a full build. The quality and finish applied to this car would not be out of place in a Concours d'Elegance event.
However this Falcon will be a track day car.
This 396 cu in Chevrolet engine suffered premature failure when a piston hit a valve during a race. The engine was removed at the track and shipped to Curltek for an autopsy.
After stripping and measuring the block and rotating assembly Steve concluded that the engine could live to fight another day. Albeit with rather a lot of new parts.
The engine has been stripped and the block and heads professionally cleaned before the rebuild begins. Steve inspects and examines every part, new or old, and tolerances are checked and re-checked throughout the build to ensure that the engine will be reliable and strong once built.
The engine was completed on time and sent to be dyno'd. A copy of the dyno sheet is attached below.
The engine developed 510 hp at 5600 rpm with a peak of 554 hp at 6500 rpm.
All race engines prepared by Curltek are independently dyno'd by Knight Racing Services before the customer receives them. With Curltek, you are buying fact not a fairy tale...
This 427 cu in Ford engine came to Curltek as a box of bits. Steve built the engine up and race prepared it whilst he was at it.
The engine was again completed on time and sent to be dyno'd at Knight Racing Services. A copy of the dyno sheet is attached below.
The engine developed 508 hp at 5400 rpm with a peak of 531 hp at 6000 rpm.
