AF upgrade
New Member
After some twenty years of "kids", I have a chance to do my thing...an Auto Forge AF kitcar, a 90's kits, some fifty kits sold, lotus/spyder chassis, high spec, and some fitted with the beautiful little V8s....That's where I'm taking this.
Conundrum...three engines to choose from, a 1970's 42517303 unit, a 10A, and/or an 11A.....I gather the latter two are ok with unleaded fuel, as per the American market (I've been reading some posts), so one of these then, the 10A or the 11A......
The 11A is in bits, having been partially dismantled, cleaned up, albeit some ten years ago.....can I mix and match some of the 11A with the 10A components, ie 10A bottom end, heads off the 11A, and strangely the carbs off the early 42517303 (10.5 1CR).....They're the only carbs I've got.....otherwise I have an 8 pot injection head system - can't think where I got that from......
So yes, to get off the starting blocks, which unit to go for....? All opinions and pointers appreciated....
cheers, Will
