    That looks like a Model A ford Motor with SU carbs, any more pics of this setup?

    The piglet engine should be a model a to conform to the rules of the vscc , period ohv conversions are allowed ,
    But it has been known for people to run model b engines as they have full pressure cranks but can be spotted by deeper timing covers and fuel pump boss on the crankcase which runs off the cam
    Piglet has had a b in the past not sure if it's a of b at the moment

    Ok so it may be an A or B motor, do you know what size the carbs are I am running twin 1 1/2 SUs on my A. the carbs look like 1 1/2 to me, however I need to have the main jets wound right out to get enough fuel.
    Regards

    Hi Brendan no idea what he is running But there are 3 normal jet sizes for su 0.09 " 0.100" 0.125" plus special 0.250" for methanol each jet size has a huge range of needles which can be compared here http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/suneedle/

    Well , after all these years of no jappics I start to build a recreation , now I hear of another being built in new Zealand ,
    He has done the front and rear axles , which look fanstastic and is now starting on the chassis ,

    Initialy I was a bit disappointed but he seems very nice and we have had a couple of chats via Facebook it's been very good to discuss details of the project with someone who understands , and as he is new Zealand the cars will properly never be parked next to each other in the paddock ,,,,

    Thanks for this great thread. I've spent the last 4 evenings going through the whole thing. Saw many new cars and a lot I've seen before. I'm building a reverse trike right now and Have a 27 Track T about 80% done. I drive a 2003 smart car that I sold my Mustang to buy. I love small and micro cars. The smart is the closest I could come for a daily driver. Wonderful pictures and great ideas.
