That indeed takes me back - a Mk3 Sprite (1098cc) engine with the 12G295 Mk2 Cooper head ported according to the David Vizard instructions with a 211 cam, Mangoletsi long centre branch exhaust and a 45DCOE Weber carb. All running in a Morris 1000 Traveller 'Woody' of 1959 vintage. Had to scrap it when they stopped selling 101 octane fuel in the UK :-(

I found that to get the advance curve correct with the higher compression ratio I had to fit a Mk2 Cooper distributor body (the one without the vacuum advance) to get the right spring rates and bob-weights.

Dyno'ed at 75 BHP at the flywheel but now we're getting even further OT!!

Proper job!!
