The Mulfab set up is fantastic, as you found on your Dad's Plus 4. Plenty to get stuck into by the sound of it.

Looks a well planned project that will lead to a fabulous end result.

So far it's all been cosmetic!

A few pictures from the engine builder and the anti tramp bar fitting, still lots to do and only three weeks 'till Goodwood!

I have already upgraded the injectors to Bosch ones and have the Tornado ECU re-map.

Aiming for around 290-300bhp. I've spent quite a bit, but luckily with my own workshop, I don't have to pay any labour charges!

If you compare it with a 3.7L roadster, I think it looks really really good value for money...and will sound better!


With serious HP it might be time to consider Suplex,s coil over rear suspension in order to get the power to the road. I drove a +8+ (Corvette engined) Morgan with a coil over rear suspension designed and built by Bill Fink. Actually used this +8+ on a 4 day "Flog Mog" in Northern California. Too bad I was not a better driver. The +8+ was GREAT!

That is certainly something to consider, although I wouldn't want to do that until I have driven one with it.

Although the engine will have a huge jump in power, it is still controlled by my right foot, and I haven't had it tuned to race or drive like a loon... just to have plenty in reserve... like a bank account, you don't need to spend all your cash, but it is nice to know it is there!

The engine arrived yesterday and looks great (rockers have gone for painting.) Ray from V8 Developments has been great to deal with, but the proof is in the pudding! So far, everything looks fantastic.

Brakes due today, steering wheel and reg plate due next week.... then let the fun commence!
