After we dissassembled the engine to fit new pistons, we found that the block itself was damaged as well....not really a quality job from the guy who built the engine in my opinion. Claude Alain from Briod Motors found a 1965 Mustang 289 block, now we build a new engine from both as mine had good...

when the chief mechanic came back from adjusting perfectly the front end geometry, all of a sudden headgasket blown. then dissassembly and the really bad news were that piston numero uno was fitted already severly damaged. means total overhaul of the engine with 8 new pistons...

Finally the last changes to be okay for FIA have been made; ignition is changed to points, from electronic. the cage has to be reinforced with nuts and bolts. wiring loom is now simplified.      

For us the first manche of the Swiss Historic Rally Championship. we have to defend our second ranking in the overall from 2010 behind the Escort RS of Gerald Toedtli
