Sounds like your going to need a pilots licence for that
one Tim,
There is a guy here in the north west, done something similar, he just uses
it for track days,
next time I am at his place I will get some photos and the engine spec,

That's an aweful lot of ponies from an engine that first saw light of

day in about 1953 at 28bhp

Well the good old A' series engine is very adaptable, generally easy to
modify & I find it's very reliable when looked after properly too.

its built around an A+ MG Metro block, so major improvements since the
original. Also has the oilways and water ways bored out for greater
capacity, high flow oil pump, oil cooler and satelite style filter system.

Radiator is front mounted high capacity alloy jobby from a modern toyota,
electrostatic fan as well.

fully built up the car weighs in at just under 500kg. So pwer to weight
ratio is up there with modern Porches.

the crank and rods are seroius kit to, as much of the reciporating addtional
mass as could be removed has been, so it will spin freer and fast without
all that added weight flexing and staring the main bolts. Its all running
via and Jack Night Staright cut dog box and LSD.

we basicaly built it as strong as a peformance engine can be with out
resorting to "handgrenade" engine building.
