If I were to make one from scratch I would do the following...
Sprint sub frame and engine mounts...TR7 engine and HS6 carbs...Sprint box and sprint diff....
The Sprint is faster obviously but is that bit more complex mechanically.
I dont really like the cam lube system which is really the only thing thats given me trouble.
The Sprint transmission is a bit more reliable...the TR7 engine is a bit too much for the smaller box and ordinary diff, but maybe Ive been unlucky with diffs and boxes. They may well have been fine when new...

Which was better, an 1850 or a Sprint?
