Car had an M88 fitted in preference to the S14. It has been decided to take the car back to original and do a sympathetic restoration on it.

By the time I am finished with it there will only be 4 cylinders left :)

The 4pot will easily drop in from the top.

It was originally a 2300cc however it has been bored to a 2500cc.
