since there is no particular point to this thread, I'll ask here.. Should I seriously consider a 1700 conversion? AX block.

Mechanical fuel pump from Pegasus. these carbs REQUIRE under 4 PSI. An electric pump can be used as a primer. If you choose an electric pump as the only pump, use a regulator as well regardless of what the pump flow is rated at. The mechanicals reliably feed ennough fuel at correct pressure at all engine speeds. Everything shakes loose on 7s so leave plenty of hose slack. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=31616 https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=82

Is a steering wheel diameter measured from the outer edge or the center of the rim?

Not a victim, I'm just dumb.

Yes, to buy a Cat bonnet or DIY, thats the question. I figure with a press break and a louver punch, I could go into business.

A post I did for Wheel removal. Without a proper puller.

I did a wheel removal like this https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/14316-steering-wheel-removal-splined-shaft/#comment-134404

Moss has been listing T9 conversions for brit cars. they must have a source https://mossmotors.com/440-187-spt-cp-conversion-kit-5-speed-gearbox

Clutch plates can stick together from sitting. I would pull it apart. On the shoes, wrestling shoes are thin too. I don't know how thin the soles are, but worth at look.

Lucky feller, you got the uprated top link.

those are unique

Did you out corner the GT-40?

Im thinking of doing this with a T9. Any complications?

Those BDR seats are much taller than the old bench squabs. I can do a side x side picture in a little while. Those BDR seats should be on sliding rails, adding another inch. It may be possible to fasten without the rails? It could be argued that the height is close in the very rear. But I suspect the BDRs bucket form, not made for adults, will push a person up higher than a flat squab. This velour BDR seat with rails is 22 Lbs.

more nose pics pls

Lucky. Previous owner already did the scuttle rivet to rivnuts swap. Makes for easy removal.

I remember when Pegasus had a sale on these. Shipping included.

I edited my OP to "Kent V. 2.0" Not 2ltr, but version 2.0 of the 1600, which had/has numerous improvements

Very interesting... I see the Kent block on the list. I wonder if Ford restarted the re-casting of the Kent V 2.0? Sent them an inquiry about the availability. I was under the impression the re-cast program was done with the Kent as FF allowed Honda Fit and others, the numbers weren't there to support it. https://www.hartwell.co.uk/pages/ford/formula-ford-parts/?fbclid=IwAR2ZIRb47bcOE-Myn5ipKYFbK9qx3f-0rAvU2mZpQAJp3DO42DWbw8PI-ac

Neither Jake or Peter's book will help on timing the BDA, only OHV. Just the lower end basics of assembly. For oil priming consider a pressurized vessel plumbed into an oil port while starter turning with plugs out.

There are other books on building the Kents, I am surprised Pegasus is out of it. There is Peter Wallage's book, which is occasionally found online and when, is fairly expensive. Ive seen it for $1,000.00 on Amazon when the availability was very scarce. But Ive seen it available for less more recently. It is a decent assembly book geared more towards the bench top home builder. For a tear down and rebuild of the same engine and parts, its adequate. Jakes book is more technical with tricks of the trade. Its good, but $130 good? I hate to see you pay that when Pegasus will probably get more prints eventually. Honestly, If you found Wallage's book for $100, get that and cancel the Lamont book. I can hook you up with scans later. https://www.amazon.com/Rebuilding-Tuning-Fords-Crossflow-Engine/dp/1850109389 With the various Haynes manuals and some Ford repair manuals, you gan get the basic information. Retro Ford magazine has had numerous articles on building and tuning the Kent based engines. Too bad they don't have a good library to search. Ive contacted the publisher and they didn't keep track of where those articles were. There are a few sites dedicated to the lump: https://thekentlives.com/tech_engine.html There is a Face Book group, X-flow tuning. I do wonder how different an alloy Cosworth Kent block is to an iron Ford block? Are main cap and head bolt torque values different from iron?

How bout some 360 pics of complete car! Without people in the way.

Can't go wrong with Pirelli.

@jbcollierWhich tires, the Pirellis, the no-nanes, or both? If the "185s" are wheels, then I assume you had Pirellis put on three sets of wheels.
