		During World War 2 Coventry Climax had supplied a number of engines for use in trailer fire pumps to the Home Office, the most common of which was the 'Light Trailer Pump' which featured a 20hp 'SM' sidevalve engine and single stage pump delivering between 230 and 330 gallons per minute.
		Climax' experience with both fire pumps and high performance engines meant that they were well placed to design a suitable pump which had a remarkably advanced engine.
		Climax recommended running the engine for about a minute without coolant after re-fitting the head in order to bed everything down - in this case it will be necessary to re-torque the head bolts (18 lbs/ft).

		A major feature of the Replica cars is that they had Coventry Climax engines of 1098 cc to bring the car within the 1100-cc competition class.
		Incidentally, this engine was quite different from the 1100-cc Climax racing engine of the Fifties, which was a single-overhead-camshaft unit of very lightweight construction designed to power portable fire pumps, and which was adapted by Colin Chapman and John cooper, among others, for use as a racing engine.
		Due to lack of availability of Climax engines, the Standard engine had by then become original equipment in the cars and it had a special overhead valve conversion, developed for Morgan, with a single downdraft SU carburetor.
