by the way Specal Tuning was an interesting place to go to and used to have a sale once a year in November, Terry picked up a prepped 850 engine there the coustomer did not want. Sad day when it closed.

Steel flywheel and backplate.
4 syncro box, starting with 3.7 cwp but ratio will be finalised after dynoing.
 
Mate wants something fun to drive on his 10 mile country lane commute.

 

Finally got it on dyno. 62hp @ 6000 rpm. 60lb torque.

Power hadn't peaked but had a carb problem that couldn't be sorted at the time.

On dyno went mega lean at around 6200 due to one of the carbs losing vacuum. This now sorted. What an absolute jewel. Drivable at low revs, but get to 2500 and the rev counter needle flies round the dial to 7500. As power hadn't peaked on dyno at 6000, all we can say it is now in excess of 62hp.
We retained the 3.7 final drive, 3.4 would be a little long, 3.6 was mentioned, but in the end we couldn't be arsed for the small gain we think it would give.

Great work Oz!

 

(I have also posted your latest 850 engine results on my previous Mk1 Forum thread about the OAP Shorrock supercharged 850)
