I think I read it was 1.75” strombergs that provided slightly better metering.
Me and my New England Region friends were literally jumping up and down mad at what happened to Ken
Luke… Many years ago (early 1980’s) when I was more into racing & these cars were much much cheaper, I talked to whom I believe was your grandfather Lou Fidanza about improving my engine. After some discussions & his recommendation, I ordered a set of Jahn’s pistons and exchanged my original head (No. 1572-9) for a rebuilt “performance” head from him. On the off-chance there are some cylinder heads around his shop, is it possible my original cylinder head may be stuck on a shelf somewhere. I would gladly buy it back if so.
It is nice to hear GTJ (builders of the world’s fastest Jaguars) is still around as Fidanza Performance. Your grandfather was the hero of all E Type owners (beating the factory teams) and his catalogue was the “bible” to us all. Many thanks for your update.
