Theres a Minispares steel 7 port under the coupe and a Pierce Manifolds alloy 7 port under the white one. I had to make new bonnets though to do it.

The white one will have a short cam KAD 16 valve engine with matching 5 speed clutchless dog box shortly with Ti suspension, driveshafts and rear subframe. Brakes are KAD calipers and discs all round.

Both running on weber 40 DCOE's for the moment.......

Its about 135 on the 7 port and about 160 on the KAD (11.5:1 compression with flat tops topping out at 9000 rpm on an all steel bottom end)
