Since its been off the road its been treated to an all steel 2.3 on 48s (built by Wayne Mitchell Competition Engines) , and a Tran-X straight cut type 9 box. The new engine made 190bhp dead on the rollers, but there is plenty more to come after an initial run in period. Its been a dream of mine to have a 200bhp + N/A engine in this car and it looks like i should be comfortably over that mark when i return to the rolling road, so happy days!
