Update 14 - Interim Engine Installation smile

So Troy from Northampton Motorsport has managed to get hold of a new Blacktop Zetec and a set of cams from Piper. The RWD packaging items have been stripped off the old engine and the call was made it's ready to drop into the car.

When dad and I took the damaged engine out we packaged up all the anciliaries and boxed them up. So having sorted out how to get back out racing for MIRA we decided to take everything up to NHM and put the engine in there borrowing a lift slot for the morning. We have then left the car there to be set-up and collect it in the week or on the way to MIRA on Saturday. It was great to experience another workshop and the different types of vehicles coming and going.. lots of 7 type cars!



You can just see another TM members Westfield FW400 having it's refresh in the background. It was just in the process of getting it's alignment sorted.

With the Zetec set-up we have found it easiest to put the engine in from underneath rather than from ontop.. therefore special tool No.1 (bottle crate on rolling platform) is required.



It's a tidy package and it's now just waiting to get set-up and run-in on the rolling road.



This package is interesting to us as it's a bog standard Zetec with the only modification being a set of piper cams and ARP rod bolts. In terms of the overall Morgan Engine packages, we are thinking this will give an option of testing and setting up an interim type package.

We are now curious to see what it puts out!?
