Daytona prototype as track car. Need info.
Hello,
A buddy of mine wants to buy an old Crawford DP car for a track car. Anybody here has any experience dealing with these cars?
The plan is to use a cheap 4.6L ford motor with dry sump conversion and run it with a ford racing ecu or reprogrammed ecu.
The cost of the daytona spec (Bosc MS4.3) ecu and harness etc seems a little too expensive for a track car.
Thanks.

He is dead serious about it. We were actually talking about getting the 5.0 crate motor for it. It would still need to converted to drysump. He has some connections with elan motorsports and maybe they will have a leftover modular motor with drysump setup from their LeMans days or when they were supplying Robertson racing FordGT. The car is already setup for a modular motor, so it should be a simple drop in.
It comes as a complete car setup for a ford modular motor minus the engine and ecu. It has a motec data acquisition IPU electrical setup, etc..

A pileup might be very expensive. He has a nice Panoz GTWC track car, he just wants a DP car to have fun. He is 63 yrs old and retired, hopefully not gonna try to break track records with it.
