Re: [MarcosManiacs] What is happening to this group

One thing that cannot hurt are the new alloy cylinder heads, a little expensive at around $900.00
SCAT now makes new cranks too.
If cost is no object new upgraded 711M blocks are available from Ford Motorsport distributors.

What I find a bit perplexing is that prices seem to be the same in $ and £ depending on which side of the pond you are.
Since the exchange rate is around 1.7-1 it would seem there should more discrepancy.
Of course the best selection of parts are in the U.K.
I'm already wincing at the anticipated cost of a new windscreen and shipping.

Marcos recommends not exceeding 125 H.P. for the wood chassis cars.

So the Alfa may be a bit much.

Torque should be a bigger issue than H.P.

Hal I take it the reference to winter dull drums is not a reference to the state of your brakes. J

1600 GT wood chassis.

Major restoration project.

Was intent on putting an Alfa engine in it, now sort of looking for a Kent 1600 to build.
