C 3 Extremumbau

[CCRP]

MCLaren hat schon GM Alu BBC verwendet, die 68 vielleicht irgendwie auf dem ZL1 basierten. Ob das ein ZL1 bezweifle ich aber sehr stark, zumindet wenn der zeitgenössisch ist sollte man die Schneeflocke am Kopf sehen.

McLaren ist aber von schwächlichen Oldsmobile V8 zuerst auf SBC umgestiegen, aber beides McLaren und ZL1 klingt halt gut in einem Inserat

zitiere:

While Trojan began the production of the M6B customer cars, the small McLaren engineers worked ferociously to keep the edge over the competition. The new for 1968 M8A was designed around the big block V8, which was to serve as a semi-stressed member, despite being cast completely from aluminium. The new engine produced a staggering 620 bhp as the Can-Am cars inched ever closer to the 1000 bhp/ton marque. One of the striking features of the Can-Am V8s were the huge intake trumpets, which greatly helped to smoothen out the power delivery. Like its predecessor, the M8A used independent suspension and vented discs all around. The fiberglass body was considerably wider to increase the aerodynamic performance and also to accommodate for the massive tires. Bruce McLaren was again joined by compatriot Denny Hulme, who piloted the second Works M8A to the championship. Together they won four of the six rounds that season, with the other two races won by customer McLarens. McLaren and Hulme also won a Formula 1 race each that season in the Cosworth engined McLaren M7.
