Patrick Mordaunt’s S14 was loaded up with some other cars for the IRL Texas demo coming up this weekend. Rumor has it with all the engine troubles in his Nissan 350z he is in the process of towing out his Nissan 350z to IRL and swapping cars with his S14 after the IRL demo. Basically he would send his Nissan 350z back to California and then get the S14 to New Jersey quickly so he can qualify. It sounds like a logistical nightmare but doing anything to get a solid working car seems to make the most sense.
Understandable, he did pretty good with the s14 anyways….while still being Sr powered.
hey if walker can do it in a sr powered car so can patty cakes. quite frankly im surprised ross didnt go back to sr after blowing up a brand new ls motor that frank had inspected by 3 diff machine shops for precision tolerances. just goes to show how volatile 1960′s technology v8′s truly are.
hahahaha^ the end of that comment is fantastic.
v8′s are rad.
glad he went back to what works
Hollywood,
Answer me this, was Ross running an Accusump?
When you realize he wasn’t common sense will tell you the engine starved and blew up.
mike peters u dont know shiz. clearly he was using a ford flathead v8 from 1953 that was built to 1953 tolerances. DUH.
Damn, and I just put him on my fantasy team. There go all those sweet, sweet tow-off points.
He blew the tranny on his S14!!! Just saw his update on twitter – “I really just can’t catch a break. 2 motor blows, and now an instant blown trans in the s14. That’s 3 events in a row. WTF???”
