blog-0703205001414443377.jpgHi everyone, new to the forum and new to owning a westfield,

I've just bought a 1700 cross flow, power max forged Pistons, A2 camshaft, twin 40 dellorto carbs and a type 9 ford gearbox, has anyone got one with a similar engine or no what it will perform like?

Thanks, Chris.blogentry-20692-0-59868400-1414445802_thumb.jpg

Afraid I can't help with the question, I'm sure James "the mighty x flow" will be along soon, but boy is that car PURPLE or what? Love it!  A new "Purple Throbber" perhaps?

I had one with a similar set-up many years ago. The sound was amazing, you can't beat twin 40s on a crossflow. It'll perform like a rocketship!

Love the purple.

If the car is as fast as that colour is loud, you'll never stop grinning!  Looks fab - enjoy!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to the club, Had my first ride out today, AMAZING!! Why didn't I buy one sooner, fast, fun and lively!! I was gutted to put it back in the garage, roll on the next sunny day.

rest easy men, I have found the new purple throbber and its mighty heart....  I have a mighty cross flow that has achieved a class victory in the speed series this year, Class A if i might add but i dont like to mention that too often.

 

Read the next bit in the style of "swiss tony" from the fast show....

 

You will find, as I have, that driving the  mighty cross flow at speed is like making love to a beautiful woman, you will need to warm her up first, push her to the limits of friction and enjoy the ride of your life.  Remember these engines need time to get hot...just then keep them on the boil...

 

seriously enjoy what is the best engine for these cars...

I do hope the Purple Throbber will make an appearance at Stoneleigh next year? What a great looking car to show people
