Its almost there!
Today i was up bright and early to drive down to Havant to pick up some shiny parts from Rich W at Lynx engineering. One of my shiny parts was one of his manifolds from his Rotrex kits. I was always against using one of these kits as i wanted to do something different and i don't think the double cost of what this build will cost me is justifiable for an extra 20bhp which i could probably get close to with a smaller charger pulley later on down the line. Not only that but i like to be different
I will say though, the manifolds that he supplies are really really well made and well worth the cost.
Engine is now built. Just needs timing up and a flywheel fitting (still undecided if it will be a lightened fly). Didn't get any decent pics of it fully built as it got dark by the time i was finished but you get the idea
