Tasman Days by Frank Matich
Frank Matich

Before the Tasman Cup was introduced in 1964, most of us were using Climax engines, 2-liter, 2.2-liter or 2.5-liter, but there were a couple of odd cars. I was also racing little Elfins but, for my Lotus 19B, I had taken my Climax engine out to 2.6-liter with pistons made by ForgeTru and conrods by Freddy Carillo, both in the U.S. I bought a Brabham for the 1964 Tasman as, while the Climax engine had been out of production for a while, I thought I would be able to put together a strong engine.
