you have to stop using nitrous oxide for shielding gas when you weld. 

Vh45de?

Based on the track record of the op, that is a 4.6 Ford

Don't get catfished, this is not where the engine goes for that project either lol

I agree. All I can say is that the SBC in mine is a super tight fit. 

A guy called Nic MAnn built some fun hillclimb creations int he UK, one of his early ones in the 80's was a twin turbo Rover V8 powered Minor.

I remember seeing Nic Mann's Morris at a hillclimb years ago. He drove it to the event with a roof rack full of slicks. Super cool car. Think it was a single turbo on the Rover with a home brewed fuel injection using Porsche 928 parts.

I just needed a stand for the mockup block to take some measurements for a new blower intake.the alloy block happens to fit the minor rails perfectly 

And yes its a 4.6 4v ford engine

I have 5 of them now lol

You do not have 5 4.6 engines. You have one 23L engine which needs some assembly.

Please do not encourage him. He is bad enough on his own.

Cool, I assume you're a fellow Ex-Pat too then?  When did you come here?

In reply to Adrian_Thompson (Forum Supporter) :

Yep, been here 18 years now

In reply to Racingsnake :

Will be 28 years this year for me.

K this is the real one

At the point i can drop it in and finish the motor and trans mounts.then only 13 more items and its a driving go kart

Any idea what the finished car is going to weigh?

Guesstimating aboot 1500 lbs unless ac becomes part of the program

We'll see.its supposed to be a driver that gets towed to summer vacation spots so ultimate track prowess isnt part of the deal

Is the hairdryer a mockup or gonna stay?

Who knows

It fits nice and its inside the envelope out back.plus the ecm and stuff is from a merkur turbo soooooo....
