Mark Herbert was a massive fan of this size engine too, the Quaife diff video (link below) is him with his 2276. Isnt this the largest size engine you can get with out having to cut the tin ware aswell?

137hp was at the wheels Craig. I've driven this same motor in rod's 76 beetle, it really is a great combo, goes hard but it's as well behaved as a stocker.

Cool, sounds tough. They're nice figures for a 2276 that will last.
