ANDY ABBOTT Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Been a while since I posted on this thread so thought I'd update it. After completing the mancona build I managed to get a good few weeks useage out of it. However I just couldn't get it to run correctly on its injection system. So that was pulled off and with the help of the legend Mr rutter a pair of webbers and H&H ignition was added. We managed to get another few weeks out of it before the weather cought up with us. So it was parked in the garage 18 months ago and has not turned a wheel since then. I've got some plans for it this coming summer I want to pull the engine, remove cross member and rear axle for painting as they never was done. While the engine is out I'll strip it and do a full rebuild on it and also paint the whole under side too. Then I want to get it to a rolling road and get it properly set up.

Kevin Abbott Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well it was finished. Then we decided to drop another engine in it. Starter wire touched earth. Fire fire fire. Fire out. Now pissing water from the head. New head gasket. Small jobs to do. Won’t make not billing again 😐 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

H-400 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 @Kevin: Looks like you have a lot of spares laying around. Billing is also something on my "wanted to do" list, never had the possibility. @Danny: Not so sure about your copy-right, pic of one of the Manta's in the eighties with selfmade set of skirts 😁: Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 So behind the scenes I've been busting arse to get this to sywell VBOA. I've worked tirelessly rebuilding engine, getting it through mot, a mountain of jobs gone through and drove it 400 miles yo and from sywell with no issues. I didn't even tell Kevin i was taking it, I just turned up on the field to everyone's surprise. 😀👏🙌🙌 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Decided to start on the mancona engine rebuild this weekend. Pulled the spare XE out of storage and got it stripped. Going to send the bare block off to be honed and blasted to bare steel, ready for a nice coat of paint. Im also considering to ditch the webbbers and putting it back on injection. 🤔 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hmmmm so here we are again. The engine above didn't end up getting rebuilt as another engine cane up for Sale. I agreed on a price with the chap who I've know for many years and he was into racing dutton kit cars. However a week or so after we had agreed on the sale he suddenly passed away and I've not wanted to approach he's wife about it for obvious reasons. Anyhow just over 2 years later and we made contact and the engine was still there and we honoured the deal. The engine is a great spec, fully rebuild with forged pistons/rods, ARP bolt kit, fully rebuild head, big valves ported, Q420 cams, webber 48s and piper vernior pullies. It also came with a dry sump kit which I'm not going to use so will be sold off. I've stripped it down and began painting and tidying it up ready for dropping into the car. 😎 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

®evo03 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Very unique lookin car, bet it gets lots of people confused, is it a Lancia? 48 Webber's it is then. Is there a chance to test cars at sywell? Be great to see power difference with xe's with throttle bodies, Weber's and injections. But there is a lot of other factors, gearing, diffs, wheels and tyres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
