A time when racing was much more colorful than today even in black and white. When you have seen recently race officials which loose hubcaps from their Mustang, big fat Commos, strange driving styles, an Alfa Romeo sponsored by SPAR or a couple which manage to drive equally elapsed times?<br />

About 12 years ago this sad looking Interceptor was offered to me by a german car dealer. He stopped by in Vienna to deliver a classic car to one of his customers. He left the pictures but regardless the low prize of 4000 Deutsch Marks I hadnt to much emotions to look at the Jensen in real life. The original silver color was long gone and 128/4515 (new delivered to the Channel Islands) was the typical living dead Jensen which sells from one yard to another. Btw watch the MIG in the background :-)</div>

After his career as racer Albert opened an engine shop and became famous for turboed and supercharged engines powering Koenig Ferraris and Mercedes of the 80s.<br />
The Camaro was later used in hillclimb trials and ended in the yard of my friend Michael K. The aluminum small block chevy was apart for service, the chassis suffered some rust damage. In the early 90s Michael offered me the Camaro but I couldnt afford the prize of 50k austrian schillings. The last trace of the car so far, its owned by a famous austrian rally driver and will be restored to former glory.<br />

It is 125/5017 a silver grey Interceptor II with black interior originaly deliverd new to Austria in February 1970. For several years it belonged to a viennese businessman and at that time the pictures for the album were taken in front of the "Sommerbad Laaerberg". The album was produced by the label <a href="http://www.sunshine.at/" target="_blank">Sunshine Enterprises</a> based in Vienna and if you like electronic club music its really worth to listen.<br />

The 4-valvehead had some heatcracks but with proper welding and new seats the problem should be fixed. The head will work on a 1260cc engine which powers his new Suzuki XR69 project.<br />

I had a look at this LHD MkII before end of the year. It was stored outside several years under a tonneau cover in Klosterneuburg near Vienna. Short time later my friend <a href="http://205-70.blogspot.co.at/">Ernst</a> took care of the Interceptor. The car was originaly delivered to Germany1970 and in early 1971 registered here in Austria by a major textil industrialist.<br />
The original color was Reef Blue with black leather, the car was built in series with other Interceptors for the US market so it has sidemarkers and chromed Rostyle wheels.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Twas the night before Christmas, and I was certain</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">not a 541 was stirring, even with racing trim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">in hopes that new parts soon would be there.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Jensens are nestled all snug in the shed,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While owner's dream of summer days ahead.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some up on blocks, some in car covers,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">some donating parts for the benefit of others.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I sprang from bed to see what was the matter.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Away to the window I flew in a flash,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">was hidden by the dust from the objects below,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">but eight tiny Healeys and an Interceptor this year!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the driver enveloped in smoke so thick<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I could barely tell it was old Saint Nick.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chugging and popping, his coursers they came,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Healeys, On CV8s, that I keep fixin,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">or next year its back to Comet and Vixen!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hmm, Jensens or Reindeer, he thought while stopping,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">they both have merits, and they both have droppings.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As quick as a Jensen's water will boil,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As fast the crankcase will drain of oil,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Up to the housetops the little Spits flew,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the Interceptor shedding parts, as they do.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And then in a twinkle, I heard on the spire<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the squealing and slipping of each little tire.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I knew as I heard their Yuletide jingles,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was going to have some well oiled shingles!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He was dressed all in fur, from toe to ear,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">a bad choice in a Jensen, even this time of year!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweating profusely, he jumped from his ride<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and down the chimney with gifts at his side.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His eyes how they twinkled, still teary from smoke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His face regained color, as he thought with a joke,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the Jensens are fun but look at my clothes,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">what once was red, is now black rose!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And where is my trademark round little belly<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">that shook when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Always there proudly as I made the rounds,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One night in a Jensen and I've lost forty pounds!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Less chubby and plump, but still a jolly old elf<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I laughed when I saw him; I drive a Jensen myself.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A wink of his eye and a twist of his head<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He spoke not a word, but Jensen parts he did toss<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">from Delta, Martin-Robey, and Moss.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All the stockings were filled and he turned to reflect,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I sure hope I got those part numbers correct!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Up the chimney he rose, ready to depart,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">he said the Jensen prayer: Lord please let them start .<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was amazed when they started on the first try,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and like the down of a thistle away they did fly.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight,<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jensen Christmas to all, and to all a good night!<o:p></o:p></span>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999662926393092463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12352239.post-46798178619932767652012-12-25T23:32:00.000+01:002012-12-25T23:32:54.688+01:00Jensen Interceptor back to the origins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After 12 years of Indy headed 440 nitrous injected and stroked 500ci engines my Jensen Interceptor deserves the right to get back his original low compression hipo RB engine. Its got a fresh up to stock specs. I will try some different carb combinations, from Holley spreadbore to Carter Thermoquad and Rohester Q-Jet to figure out best power and mileage.<br />

The hell knows who gave him the energy to move forward on the project this fast. You may say other racers are built in one year. Thats right but they are built from shopped parts.

The car was fired up after 20 years of storage and 2 years of restoration. The untouched 428 Super Cobra Jet did run well but had no idle. After some fiddling the problenm was localized, a wrong gasket did hinder the fuel flow to the idleslots. So far I remember this Shelby was in Austria from the beginning. It has a unique steel oilpan with cooling tubes and fins this style was also used on some other 428CJ cars delivered in Europe.<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/?action=view¤t=ShelbyGt500.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/ShelbyGt500.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><strong>Austrian GT500 4speed</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/?action=view¤t=ShelbyGt500_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/ShelbyGt500_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><strong>'69 Shelby 428CJ oilpan</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/?action=view¤t=428CJpan.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/cars/428CJpan.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><strong>'70 Mach1 428CJ oilpan</strong>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999662926393092463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12352239.post-6191124499025640102008-04-15T15:25:00.005+02:002008-04-15T16:16:41.212+02:00Jensens in the V8garage2002 was the year of Jensens. Beside my yellow '73 MkIII I already owned several years I bought a metallic blue '75 MkIII S4 and a silver '74 MkIII Convertible.<br /><br />The blue Saloon was the original Frankfurt Motorshow Car of 1975, first LHD wooden dash. Originaly white color it was in very good mechanical condition but had some former accident and rust repair.

Couldnt resist to buy an old Suzuki T500 Titan. Its a '72 model with Pearl Orange and White paint scheme on the tank. These are really rare here in Austria beside the Triple RamAir Suzis. These T500 were big two-strokes that worked more reliable than many four-strokes of the time, required less maintenance and featured oil-injection direct into the crankcases along with massive and durable main roller bearings. Quite fast for its capacity it put many contemporary 500cc and 650cc four-stroke twins to shame.<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/?action=view¤t=Titant500.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/Titant500.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Need some TLC<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/?action=view¤t=Challi_Titan.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/Challi_Titan.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Titan ad 1970<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/?action=view¤t=titan_drag.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/T500/titan_drag.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Titan ad 1972Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999662926393092463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12352239.post-84956471251406763092008-02-29T20:51:00.003+01:002008-03-08T16:33:42.223+01:00Balancing RigTo build a crankshaft balancing rig is more difficult than you will think.

Fact is, I am running out of engine stands. In the waiting queue 350 SBC, 403 Olds, 383 and 440 Mopar. Further we built a balancing rig for V8 cranks, the necessary <a href="http://www.schenck-ind.com/">Schenk Ind.</a> measuring equipment is already there and used by <a href="http://www.jakadofsky.com/">Jakadofsky Jet Engines </a> to balance their turbines which turn up to 120k rpms. The rig has provisions to run shafts and cranks on either roller bearings or teflon prism.<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/Engine/?action=view&current=balance02.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/Engine/balance02.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><strong>Balancing rig</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/Engine/?action=view&current=balance01.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/tscheki/Engine/balance01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><strong>Vibration control</strong>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999662926393092463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12352239.post-43030659075890452142008-01-07T23:27:00.000+01:002008-01-07T23:58:00.693+01:00Hot Rod Hangar<a href="http://www.tiroch-art.com/">Knud Tiroch</a> and his son Dominic will run a Reality Soap called <a href="http://www.hotrodhangar.com/">"Hot Rod Hangar"</a> from on 7th of January 2008 on SAT1 channel.
