to convert x-flow to blade power is not a big job at all.

I had martin @ the kit car workshop fit the engine ( cause i havent got a garage, let alone welding facilities aprt fom dinner times at work :devil: )

then did the rest with the help of a friend (you know who you are :t-up: )

to do the conversion, all you need is;

engine complete with all ancillaries, loom, ECU, carbs, clocks

exhaust manifold (fisher fury type lovley piece of kit see martin)

exhaust can off a fireblade

bit of pipe to mate these together

TTS jets & filter

new prop shaft

gear linkage kit

hoses for water & fuel

somebody to make the engine bracketry

& above all, plenty of time & patience, Ive got neither ask catflap.

martin had the car for 2 weeks, most of that time was weaiting for bits, then its taken 2 weeks to finish off all the other stuff, but theres been fitting new seats & allsorts of stuff

dont let people put you off saying itll cost thousands, its cost me less than £1500 by the time I sold the stuff I took out.

theres no way spending £1500 could of improved the x-flow to this level of performance/enjoyment ( just IMO of course, i still like the x-flow as well :t-up: )
