    My 360 resides in my usual front garage quite nicely with it's beautiful red stretchy cover, prancing horse on the front. What now resides in my "back" garage, behind the house is a very unusual '59 Frog Eye Sprite. Original 948 cc engine bored 40 thousands out, high compression pistons, coated headers, period original (rebuilt)Judson Supercharger with water/methanol intercooler. Evil, wicked thing between 3000 and 7000 RPM. Over 7000 is possible but unexplored territory (valves scattering over the pavement).

    I'm not familiar with it, but it looks like fun.

    The engine is "almost" as big as the battery

    The little bmc a series engines are very tough and can be modified to take on some big american iron. I turbo charged my 71' mk2 cooper s. It was faster than my 3.0l 911 sc. Stopping it was always the issue!! Neat car mate.

    Nice plumbing. Did you also upgrade the tranny and brakes?

    Seeing your pictures brought back fond memories of 70 mph in my 1960 Sprite with the engine thrumming at 4200(?) rpm, and vinyl top wildly flapping and side curtains chattering from the wind buffeting!
