A30 fast road car with 1275 bmw twincam head (reg WUR709)
Re: A30 fast road car with 1275 bmw twincam head (reg WUR709
Engine is pretty much finished, I believe that there have been about 500 successful conversions like this done mostly on minis so I'm confident about this engine.
Crank, rods and flywheel have been balanced too.
Also had a go at painting the block. This is the morris minor centre bell housing for the Ford gearbox.
The bodywork is also coming along nicely, major fabrication work around 80% done. Door shut lines are very good.

Yoof: How's the car coming along? .. there has been some interest on the Practically Classics forum when someone spotted a Riley Elf with bike carbs ..

I would hazard a guess that the exhaust manifold will keep you occupied for a while...Yoof wrote:Engine is pretty much finished, I believe that there have been about 500 successful conversions like this done mostly on minis so I'm confident about this engine.
