While we're on the subject of engine mod's, I was talking to John Kipping the
other day, and he pointed to his Herald in the car park, this has a(Now I think
I have this right) 1500 block and crank, the crank has been reground offset to
accept Mk3 Spit 1300 Conrods and bearings, it is fitted with 2.5 flat top
pistons and is 1660 cc, apparently there is NO lack of torque!!! :-)
Cheerio
