Jerico DR4

Anyone ever use one behind a BBF? What are their limits HP/TQ.

I thought it was in the 750-800 hp range............I have never seen one in an 8 sec ride........everyone goes to a liberty.

That sounds about right. Its a pretty neat piece either way. just curious.

I emailed David Kee, here's his response: Jerico rates it at 1000 hp and 800 ft lbs of torque. Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Here's one in action @ Mega Ford Weekend last September. Grante, no 8 second ride, but a nice ride regardless. Even if it does have an e'hem "FE" in it.

A friend of mine had a Jerico in a Kuntz&co. built 427 Fairlane that was one of the top Pro Nos S/S cars for years.It ran high 8's. Paul Adams is his name.

Rick,

Does Paul Adams still race that car it did run very well,he's a nice guy.

Later Mark.

I thought Paul ran the G-force 2000 4 speed, but I could be very wrong. I know before I made my mind up on the Lenco ST1200 I called Jerico and talked with fellow racer and owner of G-force / Long Shifters , Lenoard Long about a tranny for my 62 Galaxie. Jerico said no way. Leonard said he thought I needed the new GFR5speed but was not overly confident about how long the tranny would live @ 1000hp and 800ft torque. The GFR was $7200 with no shifter or upgrades like torsion bar, etc. I called Lenco, talked with Scott Manning, he gave me some refernces to check with that is runninng the ST1200 in comparable terms to me. I did and heard very good things about Scott and thier trans. So I bought the ST1200 5 speed for $5700 shipped to my door, with the shifters, billet driveshaft yoke, collar and throwout bearing. At the time the 4 speed version was $1000 less. Another plus is that the Lenco is also streetable. You can up shift under acceleration, and down shift as long as you are off the gas. Something the G-force did not offer at that power level. The G-force also automatically jumped out of gear when you left off the throttle.

A good buddy that we race with on occasion runs a clutchless DR4 in a 63 Galaxie..... 3400 lbs or so and 9.70's to 10.00's.

The trans has a pretty big failure every couple of years, and this guy knows how to shift........He also knows how to fix a Jerico.....lol......

Travis, You are right. Paul did eventually switch to a G-force after the jerico.

and Mark,Paul does still have the Fairlane,but it is kinda retired for now. Paul is now the proud owner of a 64 Thunderbolt that holds the ET record in S/S B, and the MPH record in S/S C. Paul IS a very nice guy. He is also in his 70's

Rick,

I figured Paul had to be in his late 60's early 70's but man can he shift a 4 speed !!!!!!

Later Mark.
