January 98 "Practical Classics" magazine has an article on Tuning &
Improving the fastback
Rapier / Alpine / H120 range. 4 pages with some nice photos.
There's general tuning / handling / engine / cooling etc tips.

The H120 featured has been bored to 1900cc using forged Volvo P1800
pistons, a Jeff-Howe 300 degree cam, and Weber 45DCOEs, with modified Rover
SDI inlet valves in the Holbay head + lightening /balancing work.
any comments on this combination???...the owner reckons he's at 140-150 BHP !

Andy (get on with that welding, will you..!)
