I can't get a new engine from Ford for my 23 year old car as they no longer make them (all together ahhhhh), so as it is factory fitted with a T5 Mustang gearbox - can I fit the 'matching' 5.5 litre Mustang engine to go with it??  ;D Also Flossie has a 1966 Triumph Spitfire with a blown engine and wants to know what class she'll run in if we fit a 24 litre WW2 Spitfire engine??  Now, where did I put that old Messerschmidt K3 - I've just seen this old Messerschmidt at Duxford Air Museum and reckon if I sneak in at night...............  NOTE - this is in Sounds Funny!!! |

According to the Scottish championship you can fit any Ford 'production' engine into your Sierra and then run it in a Super-modified class within Mod Prod. So the 7 litre V8 is OK! As for the Supermarine Spitfire engine in the Triumph Spitfire I would think that is a No No as the engine was built by Rolls Royce. However you could slot in a Stag V8 if you were really silly! |

Wouldn't the Merlin engine make the car just a tad nose heavy? Could be very unsafe if he got into a spin! I guess he'd need a slightly bigger fuel tank too?  |

I spoke to Flossie on the 'phone (she's in Woolacombe, then going to Barmouth) and she still thinks that the Merlin engine is a magic idea!

Who's going to pay for it though? Has Flossie got plenty of money in Baaclays Bank, or will she just fleece someone? Maybe she's got undeclared income from the Baaastuds! www.youtube.com/user/BaaaStuds# |
