[Fot] Grattan race 2

[Keith Files]

So, my dyno might be optimistic but it is 206bhp at 6511 rpm... 

The engine is 87mm as per FIA regulations,

It is a very strong engine built by TR Enterprises here in the UK using all the best bits from Kas’s knowledge...

Kind regards,

Keith

I also think  the MG's are  a lot lighter in weight for all seem very quick out of a corner. I also think that the MG engine is a lot better design to start with than thee TR-4 engine.  Way back in years I built MG engines and they were excellent in using high revs and very reliable.
