Well what do you think I dont know if this will ever get done but once the P4 gets weighed in then we will take a look at this what do you all think *happy*



One of the lads started to fit a v8 to it but lost interest and its sat in the lean too ever since.

I have one of these! Fantastic fun. I freind of mine is currently doing a V8 conversion it is a lot of work. Me and another friend have done a couple of track cars with senator 24v engines (fantastic) and the last one we did we used a jag straight six. It went better but didnt sound as good. Good luck with it. If you need any pointers or advice just ask

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Indeed, the headers are from a TVR as is the bell housing, The sump has been reduced in depth to allow the gearbox to line up with the prop shaft. Forgot to add that its a Manta 400*smiley*

What bumpers *hehe!*
If you need bumpers We have those, its just this particular P4 is a lost cause, we have a dozen more (most are driveable) to get sorted so this one is going to the metal salad maker.
