It's Duke

Are you sure it's a 7.0? It didn't look quick enough to me especially as it's supposed to be using gas. I wonder if there are any narrow v8's maybe a ford 7.0 if there's such a thing. A big block is pretty big.

What do you know about it Steve?

Oh, saw a TR7/8 there as well albeit briefly.

7 litre wedge?
Think someone's been on the falling down water

The S3 and the Cerb kicked the wedgers ass. No chance its a 7 litre unless being driven by an idiot or the motor is in very bad fettle...

Didn't look that quick against the Audi, thats why I questioned it, but have found a few photos of the car from last years Wedge Fest and it looks like a Rover V8 engine with Edelbrock rocker covers on it, can only presume someone has made a mistake with the titles on the vid as I'm sure we would of heard about a 7L Wedge by now.

This has been discussed previously. I believe the car is actually powered by bullst.

Oh, and whoever owns it...thanks for making Wedges look ste.

Glad that's all sorted then, lol. Now about the real wedge that I saw in the background at the start, anything pukka about it or is it a stocker

Hey Steve, I've seen rovers with Ford racing rocker covers on them before now so nothing would surprise me, lol.

Reg looks like it matches the one in the vid, think I was parked next to it at one point during last years Wedge Fest

[stainless_steve]

Over to you Mike

[Boosted LS1]

Lol, a ford with a rover plenum and efi grafted onto it. Must have taken him ages and cost a lotto.

12th picture down looks intersting, has a supercharger and chargecooler. I fitted a roterex in the same way.

I can't see any good reason for those braided hoses but I can see plenty of bad ones. I wonder who thought that strapping the HT leads to them was a good idea?

That's Steve Heath's supercharged JE 5.2. I think he said 500 BHP last year and aiming for 600 this year.

I put on the video what I was told it was by the owner who afterwards found out he had no Nos and some engine troubles.

Thats exactly what is is, just a rr3.5 with chrome rockers and a halfords dress kit on the air pipes...
Bad move on the HT leads on the braiding... miss...miss...miss...
And for NOS hahahahaha im realy sure this car is running NOS... not...

Well thats just my opinion of course
