Back in 1968 I helped Ed Zink (yeah, that one) put a 1300 Veloce with 135 HP 
into a DSR car he had built (2 in fact) for a 850cc Holbay Ford (with about 
a 1 inch stroke! 11000 RPM with pushrods- don't know how they did it!).
Final weight 832 pounds. Ran just about as strong as our McKee/333 Traco 
Chev ASR car.
THAT FAST, Paul?
