ST1300 pan european engine
Hi all, does anyone know of an install with this engine?
I have a 1977 Reliant Kitten (not a Kit car I know but glassfibre and 500kg) which recently featured in Practical Performance Car magazine with a
turbo'd Reliant 850 engine but I now want bike power!
The V4 pan engines seem a decent option for my little car as its layout means less hacking about of the engine bay than a blade or other inline bike
engine.
The St1300 seems slightlly smaller and more powerfull than the ST1100 but I'm a bit nervous about EFI and electronics.
Any advice very welcome.
Regards, Steve.

As has been said ben has an older pan engined car, seems t have lots of torque and the shaft drive output helps with transmition

Tomblyth is using an ST1100 too on an MK Indy if I remember right.
