I read that several times earlier in the week and now I see 1 small but significant item I missed. In several places it clearly states TYPE 1. Where I got confused is the section that says the pistons, cylinders, heads, block and a bunch of other things could be from another manufacturer as long as ...

Is any swing axle transaxle legal as long as it has legal gearing? I.E. can i use a transaxle from a Type 1 2 or 3 as long as it is swingaxle and not IRS? Also.. I saw a 68 Type 1 that was Swingaxle but I read somewhere that only 61-67 transaxles could be used. I read in an different thread about us...

Thanks Jim. Glad I read this before I headed out to the swap meet. I would have bought a bunch of useless stuff. I think I got it now. Pretty much stock parts but you can tweak them to a certain degree! Thanks again for the help.

Putting all the parts together to build a Legal Vintage FV engine and as usual, I need advise. If I use a universal case and 1200 cylinders, how much of the cylinder do I have to shave off to get the correct deck height since the 1200 block is narrower than the universal case (or any case except the...

I have started a Zeitler Formula website and would be happy to add your car to the site. I just bought a Zeitler FV and am in the same situation you are. I am going to try and get as many Zeitler FV and FSV cars listed as I can. Here is the site. http://www.zeitlerformularacing.com Thanks. Roger

Will do. Thanks. Roger

Yep... Sure looks a lot like mine! I will keep an eye on your progress. All I have done is managed to get most of it out of the back of my Suburban. I still don't have a place in my garage yet. I have to sell my 1956 Belair Beauville wagon to make room. In the meantime... the frame will go to the ba...

Dietmar. Thanks for all that great info. I see a lot of messages thanking you for help and info. I can see why! Add another Kudos from me. A lot makes sense now. O-rings... Didn't think about that! Back in the mid 60's I built VW's. I had a buggy and one of the first Kelmark GT kitcars. Then I went ...

Thanks. Encouragement is always welcome too!!! Roger

I am new at this so I hope I don't become a pain. I bought a 1969 Zeitler basket case and I am going to put it back to original but need help. I understand you can use any engine case and I think the later 1600 dual oil cases or a new case would be better. How do you put 1200CC cylinders in a case c...

Thanks Bob. I will be spending a lot of time in the Novice area! Roger

I'm a newbee and just wanted to hi to everyone. I just bought a 69 Zeitler basket-case. I have it's history back to the early 70's/ It has run at Daytona, Sebring, VIR, Summit Point and a few other NE tracks. Most of it's life it was in the Washington DC/VA/NC regions and won a few Regionals and ent...

Nice job on the autocross. Do you run with CFR or Martin? I just bought a 1969 Zeitler basketcase and want to run a few autocrosses before I restore it back to Vintage. I am in Orlando. Where are you going to run the next time? I would like to see your car. Thanks. Roger
