Gus - I'm not sure mate, it'd be good if it was, cos I know where there is one

Johnny - Do you know if they break them or are they just a tuner?

bbigman, you obvoiusly know a lot about them then

do you know how heavy they actually are... lol

as for lumbering and slow, well they do kick out more power and torque in standard form than 90% of the beantins owned by people on this BB

It's not my favourite engine either, specially as I've had to rebuild a couple of them.

Unfortunately, my dad runs about in a Granada Cossie (It's on it's third engine and second gearbox - I'm still trying to talk him in to a YB transplant ) and it's had a bit of a melt down in the fuse boxes.

he told me personally it was running 850bhp...

his reasoning was that on the RR it made 300bhp with 10psi

they then ran 20psi therefore it must have been 850bhp



but then the 170mph XR4x4 24v was a bit more optimistic seeing as it'd have to pull approximately 900rpm to do this and the engine only revs to 6200
