No, also the other xflow of BDA powered cars couldnt Awesome!! "PUSHROD POWAH"

Don't you mean the magic 100bhp a litre barrier ? no no, thats for pintos isnt it Did anyone manage more than 100 brake from a little crossflo then? Shouldn't you be fishing? You could go in your boat - you have the anchor It's a piece of pish getting 100bhp a litre from an anchor Just handover your £x to one of our illustrious engine builders and you'll be spanking x-flows all day long ... I will save this post for a later date Well done guys, it sounded like a hoot!!

Yes mate great time had by all, just downloaded the membership form for next year!!

Nice to finally meet you Jeff, Whats with the KPE twist ?? Them engines seem pretty rapid. . . . . . "I think that about says it all"

The guy in the timing cabin on my right was holding up a packet of biscuits which belonged to the starter!! "Food ransom" now theres a thought. Maybe if I attach a Bun to the bonnet . . . . . . . . . Roland Hayes has a lot to answer for!! Cheers for the comments guys

KILLER CROSSFLOW STRIKES AGAIN

Just a bit of in car footage from our local Hill climb in my Mk2 from Saturday. Road mostly dry but damp through the centre section. Cheers John.

Hi Toby, It was up at a place called superior cars . Not sure if they are still going? All the mags used to use them for shootouts etc. It gave 272bhp@ 7750 and used to pull to 9 I Missed a gear once and on the telltale it went to 10750!! 92mm stroke 91.2mm bore. 2430cc on 50's with 46mm chokes 195 mains with 130 airs it used to like the juice!! The cylinder head had enormous ports and the usual HT fabricated inlet manifold. The engine was originally developed for a guy called Dave Routledge (spelling) to prove that a N/A Cosworth would produce more power than a Warrior. Im in the process of putting all my old Hillclimb Vids onto DVD so when I have some time I will post a couple of clips, it sounded awesome.

Hi mate - do you know the torque figure and rev's? Hello matey, it's got 99ft/lb @ 6000. Just a little less than my old N/A Cosworth that HT did for me about 18 years ago, that had 249 ft/lb @ 5250 from 2430cc. Mind you that was on a 92mm crank.

Just a smaller version of a BDA, they even did a BDJ which was 1100cc and gave around 150bhp. Mines 1298cc on Slide throttle injection, not much torque but she revs

BD . . . . . . H Mind you thats at 9700

My 1300 makes 180bhp Not sure about the Crossflow . . . . . . . . but we will see in October.

Sorted.

Still waiting for the event photographer to post his pics!! He does have one pic up so far but he only got half the car in the frame . . . . . he must have been running for cover

Cheers Gaz, yep I will find some pics and post them.

Well, the car is still in one piece , class win by 4 seconds and fastest car overall in the rain New tyres for the next one as they have done 3 seasons now.

Got one And me

HT1 would be my choice every time

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

Evening all, I thought it was about time I joined all you like minded people so here I am. Brief history lesson. I have been racing Fords for 20 years (mainly Escorts) which have had many different engines over the years. I currently have a MK2 with a home built 1798cc Crossflow in it, and an Anglia. I also have a couple of non Fords in the stable but we wont go into that Cheers John
