Hi guys. was wondering if anybody could help, am fitting out my project with a new loom, rolling shell with engine at the moment! new wire loom from auto sparks. a bit lost to be honest! I am awfull at wiring but am giving it a go! But fuse board in, the loom has come in 4 pars (inc rear part) -...

Ohh and also have you modified your crank pulley to accept a charger belt??

I have often thought of this myself - built many a v8 but not an expert with carbs - do you know of any companies who can convert the weber / edelbrock to 'blow through' at all?? If so these conversions should be relatively straight forward??? Once my project is up and running and road legal...

4L crank will not fit a 3.9 block?? Or have i got the wrong end of the stick???

You are running a TVR 500 also! Cool - tell me - what cam are you running and is it as quick as i hope it will be??? Want to give those tuned TD5's a run for their money!!!;-) p.s - i know my diffs are standing against the wall with a last fag in their mouth!!!

Thanks for all your input guy's, have made up my mind - its a viscous unit and oil cooler, with the later fan from a rangie, I am so pleased with the reaction and help from this forum, wonder why it took me so long to get on it??

Heres a pic without the wings!

Hia - heads done to stage 4 and seats cut with a seride (i think that how its spelled??)- thou perfect and no need for paste, and pressure tested, all done by Wards of Rugby, first class work - and paul from V8 tuner now gets all his blocks from them. They do all their engineering in house.

Many thanks for your input - i think i agree, the oil cooler is a go, will prob use a good viscous fan

uprated R380, HD clutch. Not quite bullet proof i know, but thinking about cost effect. treat it as a sort of consumable;-)

I mused for ages on 500 vs 600 carb - Paul at V8 advised eventually. If im ever using nitrous then i wnat it as wet as possible (even on a wet system) - also he has had some experience with larger capacity rover v8's and siad that when going for over 300bhp the 600 is quite good. Will try and...

Come to think of it it needs all the cooling it can get!! But many TVR's got away without electric fans??? with much smaller engine bays then my 90. SS manifolds are not lagged in my 90 either, have never found this makes a difference.

Engine spec- TVR 500 - ARP studs top and bottom, top hat lined, big valve heads with low profile guides, ported and polished, 3 angle cut, skimmed slightly. Edelbroch 600 cfm carb, TVR cam - rhoads high rev lifters, john eales rocker outriggers, double valve springs. all rotating mass...

Pre serp timing cover. Worked closely with wards of rugby developing engine. Richard Campbell there really knows his stuff. Assembled engine in his workshop. New Rad, silicone hose. Im sold with oil cooler, but fan?? Im sure they work, but what differences did anybody notice with them?

Hi there guys, was wondering if anybody had any thoughts or experience with electronic kenlow style fans and oil coolers on Rv8s?? Have started my rebuild linered engine (started first time:-)) and working nicely but was wondering if the electric fans are really all that much better than viscous...

Hi guys, thanks so much for all your input - have been in hospital taking delivery of my first born (boy)! So back to the project - that cosworth blue is awesome!!! But i still like tangeres / Vesuvius orange;-) will talk to the body shop about the cost implications etc as i know some coloour...

Pink and purple hmmm... Why not orange??? The G4 / blood orange is great! In my opinion anyway, this is my first major project and i want it to stand out. Sick of seeing navy, black silver and green 90's.

Thanks for the welcome :)- Well i intend to do some light off-roading at first, it will be a bit of a toy really. But cost also is an issue, so candy apple / flip jobs are out. Always fancied G4 / tangeres orange! Do anybody know which colours are cheaper??

Hi there guy's - am new to the forum - so here is my first question. Am working on a 90 project - soft top - 2 inch lift with - wheels are black - havent bought bumpers yet - But it is becoming quite a debate about what colour is should be?? Its a 5.0 V8 petrol from a TVR - so I want it to stand...

Hi there guys Have posted a response and joined the forum to clear up this misunderstanding. Thanks very much digger for your reply Dave
