SCAT Crankshafts is a proud sponsor of Engine Builder Magazine‘s “Engine of the Week” series. Recently, a 1,330cc BMC A-Series Road Sport engine built by MCCS Engineering was featured.
Michael Kent of MCCS Engineering in Gotham, England, recently finished an engine that will be installed in a Frogeye Sprite for street performance and the occasional track day. The build includes a selected 1,275cc engine block that got bored .060˝ over with an 11-stud conversion. After being cleaned, checked and inspected, it was fitted with some new parts.
Upgrades include a new crankshaft, new connecting rods, an Omega high-performance piston set, ARP hardware, new cam bearings, new core plugs, King main and rod bearings, a Vernier Duplex timing chain kit, and the engine was balanced. This engine will allow the Sprite to keep some bottom-end tractability with power outputs of 115 hp and nearly equal torque figures with its compression ratio of 10.75:1.
Here’s what Michael had to say about the build:
“With us specializing in BMC A-series builds, we are prepared for and have seen most of the unexpected complications that can arise,” Kent says. “We know the best parts to use and we have essentially limited the amount of possible complications by setting our packages. This build went very smoothly, right the way through.”
