V11 Sport Powered Jackal

I know a few of you have been tortured by my tardiness to get this online, and I'm still not to a point with everything, but here go for now...
 
  It's been brewing in my head since the V11 Sport came out in 2000. Dropping a V11 Sport motor in a modern Tonti sure didn't look to be a problem... even after talks with folks at MGNA assuring me both, one, It wouldn't fit, and two, the frame would have to be re-engineered. Well after a donor '02 LeMans became available, off I went. First, the motor was removed and stripped of the bubbling black paint. The six speed was pulled, and after extensive examination, there was no easy way to incorporate it into the Tonti frame. The five speed bolts right on, no big surprise. The motor transplant was otherwise quite simplistic. Only the front timing chain cover needed to be swapped from the V11S motor, to the one off the Jackal. Fabrication was nearly limited to an
oil cooler mount (oil cooler bracket fabrication, clutch installation tools, etc, etc... thanks to M.G.C.), and swapping out the check-ball crankcase breather (the V11S breathes through the spine frame and allows an oil return line to the pan, the Cal series does not - I simply plugged the return line location on the V11S pan). Otherwise things literally bolted on, and plugged in. The frame brace that goes under the motor misses the extended oil pan by millimeters, but it seems to pose no problems. The stock Cal/EV kickstand was used, but one spring was dropped do to the tension of the spring around the shape of the deeper pan flange. Full front shot here. I chose to stick with the stock intake manifolds (because of the angle to the airbox) and throttle bodies for right now, as well as stock exhaust (custom 2 into 1 has now been prototyped), and swapped out the stock EV/CAL ECU for the V11S ECU. The heads will be undergoing some minor flow work and manifolds mated to the heads (@4mm undersized right now) Once completed, it'll be headed to a Tuning Link Dyno to have the proper map written, and to document performance numbers of course. Targeted number is is 90 rwhp. I will stick to the stock throttle bodies for now, as computer flow/modeling programs suggest not much gains are to be had there.

  Check back later for dyno-documented numbers.
