I largely agree with the above - my Ulster rep runs on a 4.9 axle and will easily top 65mph on the level, though the step from 3rd to 4th with a standard 4 speed box (mine's a crash box, so has a bigger step than the synchro) slows progress through the gears a little.
My engine has a mildly tuned 'road' cam and standard followers, HC head, not much else - but yes, a 1 1/4" SU.
The one on my car was £1 in a jumble sale - needn't pay more than £25 for one (at least not in autojumble season).
