our 3 door (200 blocked) has spray bars, but they look as advanced as Nutters ones.
the reason for asking is that i'll probably start a rebuild the escos soon, & i was thinking rather than bore the old block, it may be worth starting with a new one as new 200 blocks seem to be going at a good price these days, & i'll then have 11 years less rust & heat problems to worry about.

Come on Steve, i'm on track next week.

Been built up nopw for a week and getting run in slightly.


All the engines have spray bars,not like nutters though.

they look like they have been machined in as an extra mod.
