I've been racing my Producton 142 in F/P which is a "limited preperation" spec. The motor is nearly "stock" with any cam under .450 lift. The car is a joy to drove but I kept wishing for more power. I can also race it in E/P as a full prep car which allows a lot more freedom in building the motor. So the plan is to add a good head and more cam to the old shortblock and see how much faster it goes.

A local vintage racer who has been developing B20's for years has offered to show mw how to set up the cylinder head so thats my next project.

The car did win it's last race in F/P in a 7 car field. It was a Regional SCCA race. I ran it in 3 National races earlier this year and got my but kicked.
