Probably not mate as the engine in this Nova is just a standard 1400 SR lump with the 40's and it'll have a 4 branch...Doesn't look like a big cam or anything
The engine in the orange Nova is again a 1400 SR with a ported head, Piper Cam, Weber competition 40's, 4 branch...It goes like f*ck lol
ill need to fire down sumtime any see it go
good to see you're keeping it Vaughan!

Cheers folks :) I'll update when I get something done to it...
go get buisy then dude lol
Need to source some wee bits 1st mate - Emailed Colin Smith about some bits and pieces for the engine so it can be fired up to make sure it's OK then going to try the 40's etc
Just going to build it up bit by bit and not weigh myself down with thinking I've still the whole car to do
Made a start joining a 1400 SR coil and dizzy with loom onto the original 1.0 Nova loom and I'm going to be using the original 1.0 fuel tank and hopefully running it with NO fuel return (That's the way the orange Nova is setup as well and runs spot on)
If Colin replys to my email with a price for the stuff I need I'll get that and maybe the engine will be firing up in a week or two...
...Maybe lol
Update :)
Lost the notion for the Mk1 a few weeks ago but managed to get some back and started to crack on so 1st things 1st;
Trial fit of the Irmscher Cam Cover, will look good once its fitted and once the 40's are fitted etc:

Till the next time :)
Nice work mate
