Lo, these ran on alcohol. About 30 horsepower, maybe 7,000 rpm. About 60 mph
The motor looks pretty original for the late 1950's except for the 2 piece exhaust stacks with cast elbows that are probably 5 years newer than the rest of the engine. The elbows have HRP on them ... Harrison Racing Products. When the motor was built and imported Bill Tenney was the US importer and factory racing consultant. Later when the 2 piece exhausts were made Millie and Kay Harrison were the importer, factory consultant/race team and makers of upgrade parts.
sam,thanks for the reply.i was learn from another tread that anzani B able to make 65hp with 20%to 40% nitro blend at 9,000 rpm.i just wonder what this little engine can do.
Yes, nitro, more carbs more porting made a lot more power. I'm not sure how reliable 65 hp is for a number nor how reliable a 65 hp Anzani B would be. Quite a few special motors were made for setting records that were well beyond a "competition" race set up and I think the highest speeds were over 100 mph
Theres a film about an attempt to get 100+ from an Anzani B motor. I was trying to watch it a an AOMCI meet but too much was going on to pay full attention. There was additional carburation work. it was as I remember detailed well how it was done.
The "official" UIM world 350cc record was set with the Anzani by Gerry Walin at Lincoln City in 1967 at 90.94 mph.
Gerry also set the 250cc record at 84.11 mph a year earlier.
Bob has a vast amount of Mercury powerheads and parts plus the very first Harrison (serial number 1) complete with original invoice. This may become available in the near future along with a 250cc Anzani.
