As I've previously said the standard injection manifold (from the Mondeo) doesn't fit in the Reliant due to the steering column obstructing it. I already have a carb & manifold from the Reliant (not sure which one but it's a twin choke downdraught Weber from an XR2 I think) so it makes sense (to me) to use that - it makes even more sense if I can get 138bhp from it ...... which is the same amount of power as the fuel injected & turbocharged Nissan Silvia powered SS1's (called the 1800ti) were making!

I've had the Reliant for nearly 2 years now & for most of that time it's been sat in my garage in bits. I haven't worked on the car constantly, & I haven't set myself any deadlines for it either, but I'm now at the stage where I'd just like to get the car finished so that I can finally enjoy driving it. It's a pretty light car so with 130 - 140bhp on a single carb it should perform well enough for me. I doubt the car will ever truly be finished though so I can always upgrade to twin carbs, or injection, later on.

Thanks for all your advice
