I'll have a Carlton 2 litre 8v engine and 5 speed gearbox for sale next week if you're interested.

For a lot of us, donor car love varies with current prices vs performance, the twink will hit 40mpg in the Sierra/ Granada and has 130bhp in injection form plus its free of all the complicated PATS and gearbox control electronics on more modern stuff.  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

 Another plus for the twink... the whole engine loom is separate from the rest of the car, so you can unplug and lift all the essential wiring and modules in one go. It is also MAP based management (no airflow meter) and uses a regular coil so your revcounter still works ;D |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

theres more to life than mpg & to much power is just enough.
