thanks ian

Ian,

If the engine hasn't been used in a car before, you will need to re-jet the carbs, since you are now (presumably) running without the bike airbox and with different exhaust setup. You should be able to DIY this once you have the jets. The guru of all things bike-engines in cars is Andy Bates of AB Performance (01449 736633). Give him a call, and he should be able to sort you out.

hello dave
thanks for info had a good chat with them its cost me lol but i think they have sorted me out, just waiting for goods now. hope it all works there was more to it than i thought, well its all learning aint it lol, he told me i should get 0 to 60 in about 4secs but top end is about 130ish not bad for a bike engine
thanks again ian

Good news, Ian.
If anyone knows anything about FireBlade engines, it is Andy. And yes, he likes a chat

My previous kit car was a Westfield with a Blackbird engine in, and it was a hoot, so I think you'll enjoy the 'blade.
