Alot, the merlins got to around 800-1200 bhp IRRC. But tickover is at about 120 rpm....

You still got that E30 shell? I feel a plan all we need now is a ww2 enginer and some glue...

E30 shell gone to big scrap yard in the sky :(

Still heve the black one :twisted: .... put the driver's seat in the back, & we'll easily fit a merlin motor under the bonnet :roll:
