I'm looking at getting a turbo engine for my '79 clubby estate!

Does anybody know what the standard spec of the turbo engine is? What diff it would have in etc.....

Also are they an A+ or just an A series

Thanks

The Metro turbo engine is an A+, the head had larger stemmed exhaust valves that where sodium filled toi aid cooling.

The only difference with the transmission are the final drive 3.21:1 and the input support bearing which was a larger size than those used before.

the cam is a standard 1275 cam

The oil pump used was of a higher capacity NOT higher pressure

and a few other differences but I am sure others will be along soon with a longer list :D
