Very interesting - item number?

Hello range rover men Thought you all would like to see my new LSE - niagara grey softdash - mint underneath No rot at all - just needs bumpers painting and seat heater fixed and will be fitting H180 from kent cams for some extra grunt. 80000 miles - a delightful car - I feel very...

Shane you do not really need to cross-bolt that block....................... It is a small-journal main so the Serpentine(intermediate) front cover will bolt straight on - you may have to do a bit of machining if you want to fit the cam-retaining plate though. You will now have a...

marc Ray at v8d is very secretive about where he gets the extra cc's from I had to supply whim with a 4.6 donor motor which is top-hatted by them. All I know is then there is a 6 week lead in time for some parts to come from america.........I suspect he is using a forged crank from...

Clutch is one down from that - superb piece Of kit. 5.4 motor and R380 is for a RRC - LT85 not compatible The 335bhp and 370lbs torque is great for A rover V8 - client wanted his rest to stay as true to the original. The rover is 4k more than our default motor - Chevy ZZ4 5.7 with Edelbrock...

Noiseman - we will build a manual up to 5 litres - we always use the LT85 with the 10.5 AP racing clutch. The output shaft wears over time - we make that clear to the client - but the internals are very strong. Over 5000cc, chevy or rover, we use autos. We have just ordered a 5.4 litre V8D...

Solution - If you buy fit bluetooth stereo you can buy that gismo that you plug into the 12V socket, connect to your stereo via bluetooth then you can pretend you are driving whatever you want - holden 427, TVR griffith500, AC Cobra - brilliant piece of kit. Australian too - so it goes...

Noiseman the grey beast is very near you - Bollington - main duties include growling around the lanes of poshest cheshire - occasionally straying into Wilmslow high street to pick up a Rolex or a garlic ciabatta - and of course the twice-daily school run to MGS keep an eye out for it -...

Hi Shane looking for ward to some pics when the beast is done. Either of those greys will look grand I am sure. Although my favourite is westminster grey - from the P38 westminster edition - you don't see it very often. Did you ever buy the 4.6 top-hat engine from Turners? I...

Simon Hawkeye is supposed to be quite good

Shane Sorry mate it is Stornaway Grey Got my Orkneys and my Hebrides Islands mixed up. I actually think they are the same colour - there was no overlap A bit lighter than Bonatti

Hi Shane Orkney grey - landrover colour.

the fuel maps are different and the AFMs are not interchangeable I checked with Mark.

likin your style Simon not too sure about te 25-inch wheels though!!!!!!

The supercharged shelby mustang was 50bhp short of claimed bhp when Top Gear had it dynoed 351 Cleveland supposed to make 350 bhp - 275 max is the norm. Only decent ford V8 engine is 351 windsor - torque monster Shelby mustangs arenot from the factory - they go somewhere to have the leaf...

Have you just taken the 4.2 out and put the 3.9 in? What about AFM and ECU? Try using a 3.9 AFM - they are different ECU fuelling map is also different - I recently checked with Mr Adams of Tornado Systems - because had just put a freshly-rebuild 4.2 into a Challenge racer and he told...

Lynall I have responded generally above - but I thought maybe i should explain the reasoning for me keeping my headline BHP figures relatively low. You must have a 'horses for courses' mentality when deciding on an engine upgrade for a car. To shift a 2-tonne square block from rest and...

Me too Simon - quite patial to the whine of a supercharger - especially the overrun

The 6.3 engine in my car was built for torque and relaibility and not for power - with a performer RPM cam, matching intake and 800 carb it will pull 450 bhp and the same torque(450) but it will be much higher up the rev range - and not suitable for a 4x4. It is far from standard - a 5.7 chevy...

Noiseman you and all the regulars on here are always very very welcome to come down to Sussex to see us and get a handle on what we do. You will be made to feel at home, fed bacon butties and nice coffee, maybe asked to pass a spanner or two, have a browse around the breakers and spares...
