Wildcat Rover V8 in Mod Griffith chassis
Discussion
I will be using the TVR PAS rack as I've been happily running this on my Griffith for last five years.
Can't wait to find out how the engine performs.
The extra bracing has improved the chassis stiffness and I have no idea where I'm going to put the Dry sump oil tank.
Hope I work it out

Hi DonkeyApple
Could you give me a link to the thread you mentioned re. the widened Griff body. I can't find it.
Thanks wildcat600
If it's the thread I'm thinking of I don't think it's still available.Could you give me a link to the thread you mentioned re. the widened Griff body. I can't find it.

Conversely, I've seen one where someone cut the wheel arches and glued on flares. That looked terrible.
I just saw it on FB what a lovely built and what good looking welds are made, as well as the lovely downwards going headers, as the chassis welds...very good.
and I also read this on FB is it really that much stronger? thats a amazing result, do they make more?
wonder how it would compare to say the new Evolution chassis, although this one you have is a bit different and I guess also more rigid.

The CIRC modified chassis is around 15% heavier than the standard TVR tubework, but our tests show it to be 300% stiffer
I wonder how it all gonna look in time when the car is ready, wide body Griffith.I saw this on Facebook earlier today and the quality of the workmanship looks absolutely fantastic. I have never seen manifolds that go straight back, very impressive indeed. What suspension are you going with to take advantage of the chassis improvements?
I will be following this thread with interest, looks like a great project.
I love the fact you have stuck with the rover v8 and not gone for the obvious LS route. I also love the the fact you are running naturally aspirated with throttle bodies. What are the specs on the engine, I am assuming it is a 6.0 Wildcat lump.
