MARCOS XP WEBSITE ( Questions ) !!!!

2002-04-12 by Lee Brinkley

Hi all again,

On exploring Dave McGill's XP web site and seeing pictures of his own
1600 GT
I have a few questions that Dave may be able to answer. My own car has
been converted from its original 1650 Lawrancetune engine to a standard
1600 GT Flow at some time in the past and Dave's car appears to also
have a Floe engine installed. During my rebuild I intend to update the
engine spec and part of that upgrade will be to convert to a twin carb
spec.

Questions if Dave or anyone else can help....

1. What spec is your engine built to Dave.

2. What type of carbs, trumpets, throttle linkages, air cleaners are
fitted.

3. What intake manifold is used (is it especially small between the
head         flange and carb mounting faces) to allow package space.

4. Were any modifications required to engine location, steel subframe,
wooden    foot wells or steering linkage to allow this installation.


Best regards everyone, have a good weekend..
