Are blueprints available for vauxhall 1297 small block engines, does any one know how much and where to get them from?

are you intending to "blueprint" the engine? if so then why? unless your competing then there is no need. even then in competition peopel cheat so the blue prints mean naff all anyway

welll i dont... ive my reputation to think about, others do here and get caught fairly regularly.

stock rods/ hills sprints, rallycross, stage rallying, and circuit racing. ()formula ford and formula V)

In fact ive just done an all steel pushrod for historic racing in Malaysia. and its 100% legal thats why its still on 48s and not injection and doesnt have an inclined valve head etc..these things are so obvious to a trained eye

as for blueprinting.. they arent done to std figures so you wont find anything written down.

Bearing clearances/ bore clearance, deck heights etc all sorted.

Difference between 1st and 3rd in a production car race

so youve never ported a head out and then sand blasted it to make it look like its an original casting? lol then agian you wont admit that on a pube lick forum.

ok not cheating, but most engine builders will go the the limit of the rules and the push them further. or in ferraris case they just flaunt the rules and pay off the FIA to change the rule book accordingly lol

no i havent stuart.. but then any engine builder worth their salt with a flowbecnh will be able to tell you that that part of the head isnt where the gains are to be found.....

so it will go no better.
