1100-1300 Small Block Engines

How many people are running a 1100-1300 Small block engine in there car, how many have survived the Engine conversion stage ? Here's a pic of my Little 1300 4 Speed

Me!

I'm well anti mod as most of the forum know  

There's a pic of my engine on my Instagram @mand0rr which you've probably seen anyway  

Seen yours at ED38 looked stunning

Naw, thanks! Oreo was a daily but is now semi-retired.

I didn't see yours in the flesh but then I wasn't there most of Saturday and ducked in and out Sunday.    I live close by.

Yours is ace though. Proper nut and bolt resto. I'm a little bit jealous but then I knew if I'd done the same, I'd never drive him!

It was parked in the Campsite on the Saturday, and I was surprised it won best oem to be honest !

Here is my 1100 in its current form 

Looking good D_Martijn  

I won't be running a small block by I will be running a standard 1.6 diesel

A small block probley has more power haha

All but 62bhp !

So a 1.3 is 62bhp?

i'm still plodding along in my 1.3 driver

i don't think i can resist the urge to put a 1.8t in it.

62bhp that's all

Well a 1.6 diesel have 55bhp so I think it should be a small block haha

Stop your whingin'!

Oreo is 50bhp @ 5600rpm  

Does it rev to 5600rpm tho?

Oi!

I actually don't know. I have a clock where my rev counter should be  

Were you lucky with that heat shield or did you fabricate it? mcmilligan

Mine disintegrated the moment I took it off but I did manage to source another one, although it's not in that great a condition either.

Haha well the clock with read 5:06 once a day
