Great stuff...just have to replace the [ url ] and [ /url ] with [img] and [/img] on your attached images.
I hope that helps!

The spec sheet has a slightly different number to the one stamped into the block is that a typo?

I thought that's where the name came from. You don't say if you are Policeman though.

Nope not a policeman or anything to do with the law or the government.I work in Television so we get used to looking out for small details or something that looks different & for some reason that jumped out at me.

I once worked in Television. The Motor Club was invited to a making of a Rally scene for the light drama series called Peak Practice which was filmed and made in the 90's in Derbyshire. They wanted around 20 Rally Cars for the day for filming and we also got paid for it which made up for a days lost revenue at work. A few of us got walk on parts on the set but my efforts must have finished up on the cutting room floor as only the Lady co driver of mine was shown on the program when it was aired on TV. My work in Television finished there.

Is there any news on the Pinto cylinder head that you are going to fit onto the DB Pinto bottom end Simon?

Re: Sideways Mk2 Rally car

i was there with a group n escort cosworth that they were using for filming but insisted that one of their stunt men drove it as he was properly insured for it and he went and totaled it against a tree stump in chatsworth while filming and ADR motorsport got paid out in full for a new group N car

Re: Sideways Mk2 Rally car

I bought the bottom end off the guy that had the engine built by Dave Brooks, CL is his initials, not sure if it was originally built with 92mm bore then re-done to 94mm bore as that what it is now, and am assuming the 92/94 numbers refer to bore size. He's just had a steel bottom end built by brooks hence selling it. It had done 2 road rallies since last freshen up by Dave Brooks.

SRD cylinder head is now on the engine and is ready to go in imminently. Also bought the SRD exhaust manifold to go with the head which is a work of art. Waiting on Dave Brooks to finish some split inlet manifold at the mo.
