Marcos Maniacs

Michael,

The Marcos Coupes and Spyders book says the Lawrencetune cars had 
1650cc displacement, a hotter cam, and the Tecalemit Jackson fuel 
injection system.  Also had a Hewland 5-speed gearbox in its standard 
Cortina gearbox casing.  The Hewland gears did not have synchros so 
shifting took a little work.  Had a rev limit of 9000RPM!!

I know that Chris Lawrence also did the motors for some special 
Morgans.

That's about all the info I know.  I've only seen one Turner in my 
life!

MK.3 (ford) with a bum engine. If I can use the one from the Marcos, 
it will help getting things done. The old Ford engines are hard to 
come by now a days!
