1973 Huffaker Jensen-Healey<\/h1>\n
\n

For inclusion in the D-Production category of SCCA racing, Joe Huffaker converted five Jensen-Healeys for club racing. Over the course of the 1973 season, Lee Mueller became the D-Production champion and the Jensen-Healey won it’s first season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huffaker Engineering was based out of San Rafael, California and had close ties to the Qvale group which initially developed the Jensen-Healey road car. Much of the their development focused on upgrading the engine power as the rest of the car was engineered well from the onset.<\/p>\n

To raise the stock 140 bhp to nearly 200 bhp, Huffaker fitted new engine internals such as forged pistons, De Long racing camshafts and stronger valve springs.<\/p>\n

The stock suspension which was borrowed from the Vauxhall Viva was kept virtually stock expect for the fitting of Koni shock absorbers and adjustable anti-roll bars. The brake system included an adjustable front and rear bias proportioning valve and the stock power steering assist was removed.<\/p>\n

In their September 1974 edition, Road & Track reported on the full test of the Huffaker Jensen-Healey. As driven by Lee Mueller they reached 0-60 in 7.2 seconds and a marked improvement in every area of performance around Riverside. The race car was 23 seconds faster than the road-going counterpart. R&T also reported that a complete racing car was available for $11,400 compared to the street car which listed at $6290.1<\/sup><\/p>\n
