Yeah I know, got plans to modify it to regs. I built it this way before I knew i was going to run in the 7s. Will just machine a threaded spacer for the front rose joint to make it run straight and with a UJ on the bottom

[RossKnight]

yeah same

why are you running a single choke setup when you can run a double? seems like your loosing power right there

[Artful Dodger]

Because you have to run single choke in the mini7s otherwise I would have;)

another large order to minispares and a few bits from a lad on here, hopefully getting there now! just need an ignition system, but further research needed on that front, can be electronic but cant run any extra sensors, so aldon dizzy looks like its going to be the one!

The forged rockers we got here in Australia have some of the worst lift
figures of all the standard sets. The pressed steel ones offer higher lift.

hi again     im sorry for not updating:( been reeallly buisy.

 

so. CARS. engine is built! apart from the head its ready to run, i have to change the complete valve train for new as these valves touch the block because some numpty did silly machining work on the head and its confused everyone. got it sorted with MED and i spent far too much money on titanium with them lets leave that there fankoo very much.

 

 

ive fitted a HUGE caterham CSR radiator to it to stop any of this overheating nonsense. its lovely:P i did have to buy a spare and all so its damaged the wallet fairly ;)

 

 

engine ready for the head when i get the valve springs....  loads of aeroquip DSN classics and samco. just as it should be for reliability :)

 

 

filter and regulator assy

 

 

funky routing, ally pipe will be sent off for polishing when i can be arsed..

 

 

 

"the gap"   XD   not much gap is there! cant rear end anyone out of the way  hahaha

 

 

wiring loom in the process of being fitted, so far the whole rear end works, lights, fuel pump etc. im a happy boy!

 

 

the owens tank and smart arse ;)  any good eyed people among you will see that i am using the original FG bootlid. been sat for 30 years, quick T cut and its ready to go and retaining so much history of the car!

 

and finally. the exhaust manifold.

 

anyone ever seen one like that?   looks funky!!!  hope it works because im using it!! screw a maniflow i want this

 

OH. and i had to change the fricken cam to a fricken 6648. or a MG metro cam for regs.  hahaaha oh well at least im legal!
