I have a 1983 V8 unfinished project if you are interested? It is in Northern Ireland. Had new rear crossmember in 2019 and chassis welding around passenger footwell. Been under cover since so not sure if there are any new welding needs. Its a truck cab and I have the old doors that need bottoms repaired and new military doors on currently. Bulkhead starting to show rust both sides under windscreen.
Ulsterman....You have mail...sorry should read 2017 for new crossmember

Hi Mate,
thanks for the reply. ideally looking for a 3.5. Is it a 110 or 90?
Cheers,

A 3.9 will go way better than a low CR 3.5

eh?
Actually it is more likely a Ninety if you want to be pedantic. Either way, a 3.9 will go WAY better than a crappy under powered 3.5 running low compression heads and being strangles on a twin SU/Stromberg carb setup.

Yes I quoted the wrong post in my last answer
Actually it was originally a one ten and was shortened to a ninety. It may not be an authentic assembly line build but as Eric Morecambe once said "it has all the rights notes but not necessarily in the right order".
Any photos? A lot of 110's were shortened as pre production 90's around that time.
