Hal,
The Marcos book says that in 1967 the 1500cc and the Chris Lawrence tuned 1650cc were superseded by the 1600cc crossflow. I suppose any of the three engines would be OK.
Have you joined the Marcos Enthusiasts forum? They have a racing section and could probably offer some help.

Also you could check with Rory to see what engines were available. Hasn't your car been changed to a V6 and automatic gearbox or is that your other one?

Hey Guys,
Well I got a call from my mechanic/rules committe contact for vintage racing. The rules commitee dosnt know a lot about the Marcos and I am having trouble getting a engine ruling. Now in 1966 (chasis 5006} my car came with a 1500cc moter. I have brochure stating that a 1600 was also avail. is this true? While I was on the Unoficial Marcos home page it looked as though in '65 ther was an 1800 avail. am I reading this correct? If so are the engines interchagable between the two years? I was hopping to be able to race this year but having an uncommon car is difficult for the common race official. Any help is greatly apreciated.
