Marcos Maniacs

Hi again. You are so right. The car in the picture looks like a 
steelframed car but i dont know if it´s any big difference. It is a 
very nice engine with a lot of torque and bhp. With a little higher 
comp. and different camshaft you will have really nice, revving, 
engine. Your Marcos was converted to have a wankel before? It would 
be fun to se some pictures of your car and your work when you start.
