who did the porting? I assume it ran very nicely?

  • Author

My Father did the porting and has been doing his and other peoples rally engines for years.

It ran lovely in my car when i had it in there but then I sold the car so I removed it before selling and by the time I had built the new car I had decided to go for an AFH. I ran it on injection and it was quick but on a decent set of carbs It will be a very quick n/a 8v 1300
