No thats the blue car, that one should be ending up as an elford turbo (unless Ian kills it first

I nurse it like a baby... I even occasionally redline it to get the carbon out for you

So I must start the next chapter with a thankyou to 'Wires' for posting about an engine he had seen for sale on Car and Classic.

I contacted the seller, a great guy called Glen, he had the engine built to fit in a porsche 356 replica but life got in the way and a house move was forcing him to have a clear out. I arranged to go and pick the engine up from Cradley Heath and when I got there he had a second unknown 13b and numerous spares that he threw in for free

The rebuilt lump had been looked after very well, being soaked in oil and turned over periodically.

I got the engine home and started to have a better look at it, to my surprise it turned out to be bridge ported

No flywheel just an auto counterweight so an aftermarket lightweight flywheel will be needed (let me know if youve got one

)
