The Merkur Club of America Forums

There is also a discrepancy between the number totals. Is there a total number produced and a smaller total number of vehicles imported? I realize they have to produce a few vehicles to crash test, but there are too many unaccounted for Merkurs for that answer by itself. Were some Merkurs sold in a ...

Check with the vendors here. They may have rebuilt units, kits, or adapters to use a thunder chicken mc. There used to be late style xr mc rebuild kits on ebay but it doesn't seem like there are any right this moment.

I've seen just about every make from the 80's at those Radwood gatherings. Never seen any pictures of an XR or Scorpio there but they would fit right in for sure. If anyone attended and has pictures please post them.

There are pictures of these cars, some look pretty good, on facebook.

I wish all of the photos were working, I'm getting ready to do this conversion. I do have the bigger VAM to turbo hose, so there's that:-) Pictures seem to be working today. Not sure why they were broken links before. I really don't mind the factory air filter or factory box, it's just that hose un...

It's just a bunch of pictures showing the ruler. Not really any kind of step by step guide. I wanted to show there was no way I was stretching that old oem stuff onto the big VAM. Not saying you can't cram the bigger air meter into the stock stuff, but I wouldn't go that way. I would want everything...

I did a search for Lima race engine and those links had lots of pictures of heavily modified Limas many with manifold studs. Those UK guys that build the various 4 cylinder Ford racing engines recommend putting red rtv on the manifold bolts to keep them from backing out. Haven't tried that yet mysel...
