All being well Andy the car should be my entry in next years 10CR. 6 months is my time frame for this project,-once delivered work should start soon on the engine, courtesy of Tom Key. Strip down and prep for paint will begin at the same time.Good point on the trumpets and filters ,am sure we will find a satisfactory solution clearing the towers. My 5 runs without filters and short trumpets and has run fine over the past six years.
The debate, re pi and carbs, will no doubt rumble on, i think we all have opinions on what is the best application, thats what makes having these cars interesting,
cheers,
Laurence.

My conversion involves a 2500cc lump transplant into the mk1.I considered the pi route but with nearly 40k miles over six reliable years behind me with the TR5 using webersx3 ,including last years 10CR, i decided to use this engine/ancilleries as my template for the mk1 project. It will be built with the emphasis on power at the lower to mid range rather than out and out top speed. Webers are juicy, but then the well sorted pi 6 i had in the nineties was not any better, but then i do have a rather heavy right foot..,

webers,-the 5 didnt have any fuel issues throughout the 10 CR,- maybe i was lucky
but they seem to be the answer,
