It's the same lever position as the box in Big Bob. The engine was moved back 8" in that. The lever was in a perfect position, but the drivers side exhaust had to run forward, before wrapping under the passenger floor.

The most cost effective route would surely be using the Omega ECU and don't bother with LPG.

I'd either book in to a rolling road that is affiliated with your chosen ECU. Or decide where you want it mapped & speak to them about what ECU's they are familier with. That may help inform your choice. For you, it might be helpful to find a rolling road that deals with LPG systems and speak to them.

I've dropped you an email on gearboxes.

It wouldn't hurt to move the engine back a bit for weight distribution, seeing as you've already cut the bulkhead back already.

I need to decide what gearbox to use too??

The T5 you already have, with a new bellhousing.

Or the one hanging off the end of a Ric Wood engine, that already has the right bell housing...

regs dictate period engine

What events / series are you competing in? Be careful with engine swaps in competition cars.

It was the CSCC race meeting at Donnington Park this weekend. I was there on the Saturday, where it was Swinging 60’s group 1 & group 2 (2 races), Future classics (70’s & 80’s cars), Jaguar Owners Club & classic K (60’s with period mods.) & ope series. The Sunday is the more modern series. Here are ...

Problem is I’ve missed the season and now have 2 sprint cars Well done. Well, you'll have a choice of which one not to use next year... Presumably the Green machine is pretty much good to go, so you can use that as & when, which will give you a bit of enthusiam for working on the coupe (when this o...

The more developed a car is for competition, generally the worse it is for the road. In speed events, the Road-going class is a good compromise of both, but you won't be able to run in it with the GM engine.

Just decide what you want, a modernised road car, or a competition car. Or maybe one of each?

Sports Libre, like James said, you'll need a 6-point cage.

Aside from any other issues, the 5a is the only Scimitar that went over the 1000 production units p.a. So it's not eligible for SM anyway.

I did the spread sheet when I was Comp Sec, after we adopted the CM scoring. It was from scratch to suit the SSSC, not adopted from the CM sheets. It all worked at the time, but I think there have been a few changes over the years. I've not touched it since handing over the Comp Sec reigns. The reas...

We had ARP head studs on a previous race engine. However, on the current one, it has standard bolts as spec'd by Ric Wood, which is what he uses on the race engines with original casy iron heads.
