So, it's like a twin turbo version of the FTO motor. I looked at it initially, but went away from it because of the cast iron block which makes it weigh a ton. A guy contacted me ages ago and said he was putting one in a manx, and I said it would be way too heavy and would handle like a pig. In a bus it would be ok.

If you have bought the car I am thinking of, it was in a pretty sad state and what was left of the engine looks like it had been sitting for ages.

thanks wes but i was actually after the motors specific weight and tuner mods but yeah its prob the same vehicle yellow manx 4wslotted discs+ spare strenghtend chassis+ 7 point cage+ 6a12g +adaptor plate + 091 box it was from north bris its is bit rough but at 4k thats less than half what my mower cost me and should be more fun:Pill most prob shove a rotor in the manx ported for torque at low revs ie 2000 to 6000 behind my 091 locker on the new chassis but i bought cor's old grey manx they were restoring the same day and ill have the boys do this one first once they get here:thumb
