1098 based engines make great road units. All torque for a little engine.
Keep the revs below 5.5k and it last too.

Thanks I look forward to having it on the road finally!
I am also curious to know what they would be like on the drag strip, with Santa Pod having just passed....
I would imagine the high torque figures would be good, but the inability to rev freely would be a problem...
Alan Staniforth in the original Terrapin ran a blown 1098, this did the quarter mile in under 13 seconds.
The same car went on to set about 9 records in Class G at Elvington on 5/6 October 1968. Four of these records still stand: https://www.msauk.or...peedrecords.pdf
