TVR V8 390/400

Where can I find a complete 390SE/400SE - engine

Inside the engine bay of a 390/400se !!!! Seriously though your best bet would be one of the Tvr breakers - Douglas valley or bell hill etc. seen them come up very occasionally on eBay. What use are you putting it to? Might be easier and cheaper to get an engine from an old range rover or similar and tuning it or if it has to be a Tvr engine then v8s from the later chims etc are more easily available.

The OP hasn't by chance recently bought a 390SE that was incorrectly badged as a 400SE from Ebay, in a million bits and missing its engine...?

The block has been decked & will give approx 12:1 CR so the H234 or wilder cam with plenty of overlap is a must.

What fuel would you feed it to make best use of that CR? Not Tesco 95RON, I bet.

I sold the original flat-topped Omega pistons from my 3905cc engine, think I got 80 quid for them. At 101K miles there was negligible wear on them... I think I did more damage getting the gudgeon pins out.
