Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

The block is all painted and the parts are clean ready for assembly so its looking good m8.

Cant wait to see what difference there is between the last dyno plot and the new one.

I just cant wait to see an engine...

Good to meet you Tim , don't be too put off by the WP motorsport set up, we don't spend all the time between the garage and the pub.

The engine is almost ready for the dyno, there is a formula ford on first thing in the morning, should get a slot around lunchtime for an afternoon session. Praying all goes well.

Well it sounds a million times better in the car with an exhaust and a non-blowing manifold.
Feels much more responsive on the throttle now and the induction roar still sounds awesome from the twin 50's
