[73RR4SPD]

Hello All from Surrey, BC, Canada,

I own a 73 RR 512/4spd. It’s just shy of 700HP and a little over 600 lbs of torque thru the rpm range.

it’s a lot of fun to drive, yet I haven’t taken it to the track yet.

The motor was built about 4 summers ago and it’s been all street driven..

I pulled the motor and 4 spd all as one unit yesterday (thanks to a lot of reading of posts on this forum and others) to inspect and secondly because it’s finally going in for some body work. I’ll try and post a pic of it and then I’ll post a couple of threads seeing that I have an issue with the valve train geometry and lack of power to the ground.

No disrespect to my American friends down south but I do travel a couple of times a year down to you guys on business and based on some of my conversations with y’all….I feel I “must” clarify the weather in some parts of Canada for some of you….

Just so you know guys, I’m located in Southwestern British Columbia (not the drug capital of Colombia)…….we were asked if we carried any guns when visiting down South one time, because they got the 2 places confused….I’m 20 minutes North of Blaine, Washington and 3 hrs North of Seattle.

It doesn’t snow here nearly as much as it does in Alberta or the rest of Canada.

We get “inches” of snow here annually, and some years, none at all…compared to “feet” of snow when you head East.

We do have running water here and I’ve never been in a dog sled
