It's a 1.8 CVH for the moment..

If you could see them in my garage you would also see....

1x24V 2.9 V6
2x12V 2.9 V6
1xBlacktop 1.8 Zetec
1xDOHC I4 2wd
1xFOHC I4 4x4

I suspect the Bike carbs will go on the CVH soon after IVA, whilst I buid up the Zetec (or a 2.0 Zetec) on Bike throttle Boddies..

Yep, that sound of the petrol station four court, the wallet opening and the man behind the counter grinning as you hand over silly amounts of cash..

Talking

Dont remember my 1558 twincam escort or my old lotus mk2 cortina being that bad on squirt. I know injection is the way to go but a dialed in pair of webers that are maintained properly are not that bad.
