Sounds like a fun build , keep us all posted. I’ve got a little FWM Coventry climax in the shed that I don’t think has ever even been run. One day that’ll be put in a 7

Hasaad this is the Holey Grail special I mentioned a page back, being built by our latest member Aeronut

Everything has been dug out of scrap bins, it's literally the leftovers of a lot of guys past restorations so no living sevens were harmed during the construction

Goal is a fast hill climb special with a healthy dose having fun

Aye 
Greig

Hello Gents

Thanks for letting me onto the forum .
Thanks Greig for posting the pics of the Grail
To answer the question about the Barrels they are from a BlackBurn Cirrus aero engine that I have parts of ..
They will make each engine 800 cc . The JAP crankcases are UCZ versions the industrial engine.

As Greig has said the aim is to make a rather rapid hillclimb car .
The rear track is 800 mm wide with a solid back axle.. so oversteer should be rather easy .I hope.
Pls feel few to ask any questions .
And any advice would be greatly appreciated .
