This is my Scimitar SS1 that I have prepped for Hill Climbing and Sprinting. The car runs a ford CVH, Type 9 gearbox, and ford 7" diff so this forum looks like a goldmine of info.







I am in the process of building a new engine. The current engine is a stock CVH 1600 bottom end, big valve head, CVH 33 cam, solid lifters, uprated single valve springs, a tubular exhaust manifold, and a pair of 40DCNFs, but i'm worried about the stress on the bottom end, and I'm suffering fuel and oil surge so am in the process of building a new engine.

The plan is to switch to EFI, using standalone management (Omex or similar) and a CVH XR3i EFI inlet manifold and single TB, which will hopefully be nice and reliable, pull well from low down, and still give good power (aiming for around 140hp). Internals are at the machine shop at the moment, and I'm currently in the process of sourcing the EFI parts.
