Great 2 part interview with Tony Rudd - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 01-25-2012

"To our delight, we ran the first engine May(1985) and it worked. We had been running in parallel: we had shipped one of our 4 liter engines to Detroit, and we mocked up the induction system we'd plannned to use, which saw the two inlet ports and one inlet port is throttle. The whole induct system is mocked up on one of our V8s. We can show you the engine-we've preserved it. We think it's a piece of history.

And that was when we coined the phrase that it's got 11 throttle butterflies and 16 injector nozzles. That was the week we had to go down to talk to AC Rochester about the link for the injector nozzle."
