I am about to treat my Chimaera to a new 5.3 Litre race engine and wondered if anyone had ideas about how best to get something for my standard 5.0Ltr V8 (18000 miles and three years young) - apart from an ad in Sprint does anyone have any ideas?

Get an ad on here - better coverage than Sprint IMHO.


I'll give you £50

Alternatively if you cant be bothered with that, how about a call to people such as RPI or V8 Developments. I am sure that they would be interested and should give you a good price. Though dont expect the earth, they have a business to run and they know the "trade"...

You put that in it and the clanking will turn to smashing

What do you need that 500 for Steve when you have a SEAC?

I gather that the missue enjoys driving fast Steve, would she notice the extra grunt of the 500 in the Ford?

I'm sure that Ferrari driver would.
