lance uppercut

need to speak to dave bean in the usa if you want an alloy block; http://www.davebean.com/specials6.htm#TCBlock yeah, Cosworth had a development engine called the BDF which was based on an Ashcroft siamese block with brazed in steel liners and a 88.9 mm bore - made 275bhp Brian Hart decided he didn't like the idea of brazed in liners and then started casting the alloy block - Ford only became aware of these blocks when Peter Ashcroft visited Brians workshop and tripped over one! This is what became the BDG

try here; http://www.ford-aquaplane.co.uk/ they repro most of the original aquaplane bits, click on 'parts' at the top

in that pic its still running the twin SU set-up, later Hilborn injection was fitted - mechanical i think. engine was 1650, based on a pre x-flo iirc. centric blower running @ 17.0 psi. it covered the 1/4 mile in 12.5 with a terminal speed of 115 mph running this set-up thats a feckin quick time in anyone's book imho but must of been mind bending back in the day me too, wonder where it is now?

nice work, looks like a tidy installation reminds me of alan allard's dragon anglia with the blower hanging out the bonnet like that

top job! :thumbup:

looks already but you could drop it some more to make it look
