Interesting link

Quite a versatile engine then, not that my pockets are deep enough to chase that sort of power !!??

When I started my build, I had a chat with a well respected engine tuner & former lo-cost racer.
Sort of came to the conclusion that 150 BHP was the max power that would be needed for the performance I desired

Having been in a completed car that had 100 BHP at it's disposal was a real eye opener .........Plenty quick enough for me

After a light overhaul ..........I would be more than happy if I could restore the BHP back to the original factory spec ( Power bound to be down a tad given its age )

Going to concentrate on my new workshop roof before I make a final choice ........That said i'll definately keep the engine if I don't use it for my current build
