These guys seem to be growing in reputation, see their name about more and more.

One of them, think it was Will Jones, used to work for Millington. Think he took a few Millington ideas with him when he left.

Wonder how much this lot would be to buy new. Could you actually use this engine in Rallycross anyhow? I doubt it.

I think Caddyshack should buy it, sell the head as it's probably not suited to a road car and bob's your uncle!

Thanks, I think 14mm extra deck is too big for the spec Mark wants to build. And the wife would kill me if she saw all that go out in one go, especially after doing nearly £6k all in on the oppliger box recently (including clutch, props and all the extra little bits)
