Here is my project for historic racing , a 1275gt group 2 ( period G2 ) with cooper's engine and weslake 8 port cylinder head.
I made a replica based on the works 8 port clubman YMO 886J ( I know it was initialy build for group 6 but can raced in group 2 with minor modifications )

All parts from the engine are original special tuning.
