I thought the 1.7 was as far as you could go in terms of boring out? Or has it been linered?
Seems optimistic, but fair play if it's correct, mental work for an engine that was built to be a throwaway job!

It seems a little too high to be true, I've heard of 260 (and 10000rpm rev limit) being available from mountune for £16k, but 290 seems a bit on the far fetched side? Does it say what fuel is used?

As for the other parts, thanks, I was unaware of such engines.

It does say manifold not included, so maybe 290 is achievable with some crazy long bodies.

I dread to think what that engine cost new! Swindon certainly know how to charge.
Certainly no reason to doubt that it could of made 290hp, its built using some of the best parts money can buy
