Default Blenheim 'Lusso'

Having delved about under the thing, I didn`t see enormous weight in
"plates".

Replacement of exhaust manifolds (did`nt weigh them but they are seriously
heavy) plus heads (weight even more ditto) and inlet mainifold more relevant
as they are all at the top of the engine. I think my new gearbox is supposed
to be lighter but that is lower down. My s2 certainly handles better than
ever.

I think some later models have the engine lower between the chassis rails.
That would be a benefit. As to suspension, I run a compromise .... exhaust
scrapes if I`m careless but generally OK. P
