i was going to mention that one, it was red, i had pics of it, it had a weired tubular manifold, someone told me it was 20ltr, i sold an et engine a couple of years ago craig, it was one of your scimmy crew, he fetched it for a friend, ithink he was from norfolk way.

yeah thats right, it was based on a Ca20 rather than ca18. Ran a bluebird head with rear dizzy and std inlet manifold with cossie TB. odd looking tubular exh manifold was to try and improve power delivery and packaging iirc. The guy that owned it, had someone else build the car. Ive spoken to the owner Graham Walker but hes not really interested in it now as hes sold it, but i would love to find the guy that built it and developed it.Ive loads of pics somewhere i will dig them out. I beleive most of the engine work was done by Oselli Engineering at the time, as there were no real jap tuners around then.
dunno who that was re the engine you sold, but im bound to know them, it aint like theres many people daft enough to play with scimitars!

edit pics of the car are at work, will post some monday

ok mate cheers, i was told the guy who did a lot of work on it and built the manifold was a dentist, no bull, and just alately theres a guy in the jap mags who maps cars and he was a dentist, could this be the same guy

yeah thats right, he was a retired dentist!
Barry something or other his name was, i will ask a mate who kenw him for his second name. I think him and Graham actually shared the car when it was circuit raced in the 750MC calsses before they changed.
Barry Marsden, im sure of it, although i will check with my mate to be sure.
