its a 1071 built round a south african crank, so it uses large journal con rods.
engine
1071 + 60 (1130)
fully worked crank and rods
mega flat top pistons
steel duplex
billet 649 cam
head done to suit
1.5 roller tip rockers
aldon dizzy remapped to suit
ulta lite flywheel and what not
engine was built by M.E.D
head done by M.E.D
dizzy mapped by Phil Hepworth
runs a new 45, 3 into 1 race manifold, maniflow megaphone and backbox.
box is remote 4 sync s/c (minispares) with man transmission sc drops and a quaiffe lsd running pot joints
makes about 86 bhp on Mick Barrets rollers
just swopping the c.w.p to drop the gearing, so cracking the sub 10mpg will happen
watch this space!!!

That's about the same consumption as my 1310 cc 'S' gives on the competitive sections of rallies.
I used to rally in the works Datsun 240Z's and they used to give 5 mpg (on a good day) on the competitive bits. But then, I wasn't paying for the gas.
I'm up your way next weekend, Rich, doing the Yorkshire Endurance Rally in my Rover 214.

I know of him. He'll know of my old 'Z' driver, Kevin Videan.Back then I was a co-driver/navigator and the Z was terrif to navigate in compared to a Mini. For one thing, you could actualy see the maps on rough roads.
In fact, thinking about it, we had triple twin-choke carbs with 50mm choke tubes. That's like a 1.9" choke tube for each cylinder.

my mates sprint/hillclmb has quite a thirst, and we had quite a laugh comparing its fuel consumption when we double drove it at a sprint at north weald.
the tank on the car is tiny, about half a gallon, and whilst setting very competitive times he was using about 3/4 of a tank per run. then i had a go, i was about 12 seconds slower than him, and only used about 1/4 of a tank!
its running split 45's, 300 scatter cam, is 1399cc and pushing out 140bhp on gerald dales rollers.

New for this year 2006 - The Se7en class has been split. Normal se7ens (no diff restriction and 1012cc) and a new cheaper formula class that runs a control 3.7 diff with a low rpm 1293cc unit aimed at attracting racers even more constrained by budget and Mighty Mini type formual cars that are having problems with their own internal championship regs.
