Welcome to the HAMB board mate.(read with my best english accent) The Morris sounds like a hand full. Lets see a pic of it.
Not all Morris Minors are in "Jolly olde"....here's a terrible photo of my brother's Morris in Oregon....406 chevy s.b. with a 'glide and transbrake...still drives it on the street and ran a best of 10.33 last summer...He's presently building a 61 Anglia 2 door [going for 9's] after being banned from the strip in the Morris...seems the 86 inch wheelbase is a bit short for NHRA rules....excuse the photo. I took it off a snippet of video playing on my tv set. I didn't think it'd work at all! Welcome to the HAMB
Hey Cross Spring, what kind of transmission and rear end are you running behind that 351 Cleveland in your coupe? pretty decent numbers on acceleration, speed and mileage! Welcome to the Hamb!
