Schotland is nowhere near where you live. In fact nowhere is near where you live.

Hello Neil
Glad the modified S1 Vixen now running well.
Afore all places sell for Cadwell, get yourself booked in !!
You could trailer it to pre 80's, then stop over in Louth with Bernie I & numerous other enthusiasts, enjoying a couple of pints & a nice Italian on the Sunday night.
Cadwell is a superb circuit & it's never been cheaper !
The Elstrop's will offer you some free tuition, if there is a seat for them !
We will then have pleasure of your company again at Revival at end of week !!
Cheers Ian

Neil,

It's looking fantastic! The blue seems even more vibrant than in the other pictures you've posted. Perhaps it's because it's a fast mover.

Best,
B.

Probably because all the other pictures have been in the garage Bernard
Have just found a nice std bore 5.0 Truck based Roller block. I am now looking for a nice 331 kit to build the next engine for it.



Thanks to Nigel Charman who sent me this wonderful shot

Would you like me to dig up my engine's specifications and send them to you?

Best,

it wouldn't hurt. then I could just improve it a tad for pub bragging rights

The block I have coming is a 90's Truck based roller block which were fitted with tidgy cam and flat tappets but are apparently fully reversable into a roller block. Its a std bore so will see what the wear is like when we get the block.
Have you come across a 20 thou piston with a stroker crank to leave one more bore in the block?? all 331 / 347 strokers seem to be on a 30 thou overbore?

This is a 347 kit but have you come across these bernard..
