a good friend of mine has done me a HUGE favour (Thanks JC) & sold me his computer & twin throttle body injection system, so now i`m adapting the twin 40mm throttles onto one of my big weber manifolds & will jumble it all onto a refreshed 1510cc bottom end with my big old favourit 5-port cyl head
a cross between the old skool & the new
it`s taken me a while to decide what to do with this old 1510 donk, but now i have some purpose once again

Seems like the ideal thing to stick in a black sports sedan shell. Now where would you find one of those????

still got it sitting here, don`t quite know what to do with it either
I may be building a formula-5000 looking open-wheeler thing next year
so we may couple that donk up to one of my mega $ Kombi gearboxes for that, maybe.

edit--> i really don`t think the old austin 1800 gearbox was going to hold up to a 500hp turbo alloy V8
well,,, not for very long anyways
