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.......
