I could build you a KAD engine no probs...I wouldn't like to meddle with the BMW heads tho as I know nothing about them.

Drop me a line if you're seriously interested :D

I unbolted the rear beam complete with raduis arms and brakes last night.....it was heavier than I thought, which got me thinking about doing something different on the rear end....

I've decided what i'm going to attempt, it may all go horribly wrong but suffice to say the beam will not be going back on....

Watch this space :D

I could have a guess and say an independant rear end, double wishbone set up is on your mind :wub:
