Default My engine Plans.

As some of you know I am putting aboat ancor of a 2.9 12V V6 in my lightweight car

These produce about 150BHP in good stock spec. Which aint bad for a roadster...

But I am a greedy little hector..

So over the last couple of weekls and a bit of ebay tasticness. and soem other purchasees..

I will have another 2.9.

It will have a piper 285 cam
It will have a superchip
It will have K'n'N's
And a less restrictive exhaust than mr ford blessed it with..

Hopefully this will produce somwhere around the 185 mark.

IF everything added up it would be more like 199, but I don't work in a perfect world liek some.

But it should be plenty

I am collecting 3 spare engines this weekend, which will give me a total of 5 to play with between the roadster and the TurboTechnics XR4x4...

TT
