Engine running video - Speedyxjs
Got the air intake and the exhaust manifolds on yesterday which seems to have made it almost bearable so i have taken a vid 
Still need to sort the idle out but cant do that unti; i have made the exhaust.
Enjoy
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

oh yes!
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

It will idle, we got it to do it yesterday but becaust the throttle cable is from a later XJ6, i need to tweak it a bit it keep the butterfly open

Nose is 6" wider and the engine bay is 6" longer, the rest is based on haynes roadster so is wider than the standard locost but because of
the size of the gearbox, there is only 16" width for me and 17" for the passenger (most of my family are bigger than me  )

Will the intake stuff fit under the bodywork okay or are you making an inlet plenum from scratch? Mine wouldn't fit under, I cheated and changed
bodywork
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.
