Is there any reason why you have stuck with A series? I mean the 100% dedication to weight saving, but then keeping that heavy old tech when compared to modern engines with much higher bhp per kilo available?
No offence intended.
None taken.
I’ve been tempted by a few conversions. I only really see a bike engine getting the weight down considerably more. Always felt they don’t lend themselves well to a car though, I like torque. Did look at D series Honda, even bought a head but just couldn’t do it.
Something about still having the A series and it being turbo that I really like. I guess it’s not ‘cheating’! It surprises a lot of people. Not had many reliability issues either considering the use it gets.
