Z10 as a Super Vee

Following up from a post I saw in the classifieds of all places:

Quote:

According to my original 1974 Zink sales brochure, the Z-10 was EITHER a Formula Ford OR a Super Vee, depending on which engine was installed. It will accept a Kent for FF or an aircooled VW Type 1 or 1600/1835cc watercooled VW Rabbit engine for Super Vee.

My '74 Z-10 originally had a Kent, but converted to 1835cc VW in the 80's. The VWs are drop-ins.

Oh, and as Dan says, it uses a Type 3 front spindle. __________________

So in theory could a Z10 chassis be run as either an air cooled or water cooled Super Vee? Or would a car that began life as a Ford only be recognized as a Ford in vintage circles?

The internet also made reference to a Z11 which was a dedicated FSV chassis, only 4 of them built if the page was to be believed. Maybe that is the designation for a Z10 packaged for FSV?

I'll never afford any of it, but it's an interesting thought experiment vs trying to find a real FSV.
