DodgeT Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 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 ) then did the rest with the help of a friend (you know who you are ) 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
