No centre strap as far as I'm aware. I'd have thought it was more of an issue on the bigger engines with a blower. Mines only little 65hp.
ARP head studs as it makes getting the studs in easier, alternator in the housing for the generator. 12v not 6v. Similar with the starter motor, new motor in the old clothes. Adjustable valve train to make life easier in the future. I've (Jim) tried to keep it as externally stock as possible but with a few mods inside to make it a little easier to live with. I've got the correct Solex carb which we ran yesterday, the jury is out to see if it stays on or a later spec American ones goes on. Stock to start with.

Richard, I would understand if you were trying to wind 5 or 6000 rpm out of it, but its not a 1198 or 1340cc anglia. It is a flat head ford v8 which does not have a reputation for failing in the center main, certainly not in a near standard engine (and I doubt that you will ever rev it as high as 4000 rpm. It can't breath well enough)
If you were keen to line bore it, you could use the meatier cap from a 49 to 52 v8, but I guess a tart would stretch further for three steel caps.

You would not be reving the snot out of it if you had the properly adjusted correct governed carburetor in place.

Electric but hidden in a crab case.
Ross, I think Rich is talking about when he's waiting at the lights sat next to a heavily modified Ford Focus, the poor Focus driver unaware of Rich's blower hidden behind the side armour  Rich if your worried speak to Jim, I'd keep it simple...... Ben

Yeah will do... It's a straight bolt on item no machining needed.... Like I say it was just a thought........ The blower on mine may require the strap though...
