Another good mod if you are interested is to substitute your normal manifold
for a Doly 1500 manifold, grind it out to spitfire size.  Then you can bolt
on the HIF66 from a MG metro and have one very large carb, but you start to
get power much lower in the rev range.  Whats more they also did a turbo
version of that carburetter, mmmmm.... if you could make up the exhaust
manifiold.

You got as standard 100+ BHP from the MG Turbo 1275 engin.  Your just
putting it on a better breathed 1500 engin.

Nice

James
