Twin Carb Head

[timk11]

I was under the impression the twin carb head was off a test engine
that should have been scrapped by Honda America after it was tested
here. Mike Kefurt used to have one for sale with these specs: Crank
with 180 degree offset rods, twin carb head, special cam, 2 carbs and
developed 60 HP, he wanted $1500 for the kit back in early '80's.
Honda imported many vehicles for testing and most were scrapped, Bill
Colford has one - the AA600 Automatic. Hugh M. has an LN360, They
also brought in the Vamos - a jeep like vehicle, and several S600's,
the TN360 trucks and several others.
I had a Z360 Life, though not a test car was never sold here.
Interesting little 360cc right hand drive with liquid cooled engine,
down draft carb, automatic trans. Chris L. of SLO Ca has one of the
test engine with herringbone final drive gears, the big carb, and
more HP, not really sure on the HP, but he was a factory trained
mechanic out of LA.

Hi,
We had a City for about two years, got if from a client right hand drive and
all, California registered, don't know where it went, sold it to a client who
moved from the area, if there's interest, I can try to locate him.
