Marcos Maniacs

Hello Hal
I still have the original trans. I am sure it would work with the stock 1.5L, but for serious racing, its so small I doubt it would hold up. Being that it’s the same trans. used by Lotus Elans, I would find out what they do to beef it up, or exchange it for a stronger design. Also remember, the V6 can be removed and put back to stock. As I said in the article, a stock 1.5L can be build up to 160hp, but it will need beefing up and constant overhauls for that sort of performance. Another option would be to buy a current 1.6L engine from a front wheel drive English Escort. These motors look like the 1.5L, but are very common and upgradeable. Check the internet for info. BTW, where do you live?

Thanks for the article very well written. I will try to give you a call today. I am looking for a vintage racer and I am not sure if all the modifications that have been done will alow me in. But... with the rareity of Marcos cars and info I may be able to fudge a bit. Do you still have the trany if so is it usable if I had to change back?
