Plaque for my Sag
Discussion
Hello all,
I forgot to post a pic of this up but to complete my engine install Topcats have created Plaques for all their engine conversions. They can be placed inside the car but mine has been fitted on the carbon airbox. The second T350 LS7 was finished last week and the owner has now driven it but sadly for the UK it is going back to another part of Europe next week.
You may not be able to read the plaque but it says the date it was finished, the main fabricator which in my case was Brian and then signed by Warren. Nice touch I think?

Is it flexible or solid backed, as shall have to decide where mine is going next time i visit Topcats.
It is aluminium but made in a way it can handle heat and cold. It will shape so you can put it on a curved surface, they have them ready for yours and the other conversions.so called said:
How much does the conversion cost if you dont mind me asking ?
mine was quite a bit but I have had just about everything done to it. If you want a LS conversion then it needs to be done right with the right budget, give Warren a call and he can talk it through with you and I would be also happy to have a chat. He has a Griffith and a Tuscan 2 at the moment in his workshop so he can cater for what you have.blackiepaul said:

It is a very interesting option for when the time comes.
Are you happy with the different sound ? (I just changed my cans to get a better sound).

I loved the sound of the speed 6 but I think having a car that sounds like a chevy lemans racer is even better - the bangs and pops are just as good and it "fires" much better than the S6 did.

Hi christian,
They look good don't they, I saw your car there yesterday and Simons Tuscan. I have told Warren I am not a fan of the green but he loves it so as long as he is happy - I have nothing else green on the car but it is sporting green topcats stickers on the side at the moment.

Very sensible as there are likely to be some awful Heath Robinson jobs around over the next few years that will only be worth junk value.I forgot to post a pic of this up but to complete my engine install Topcats have created Plaques for all their engine conversions.

I also wanted to make the point about 'must keep original' snobbery.
I was lucky enough to get an invite to a TVR North American Car Club event in 2009.
At the hotel in the evening I spoke with a number of guys who repeated the theme that they love TVR's because of the lack of this snobbery. Anumber of them had moved away from Ferari, Maserati etc because of the snobbery.
In the car show they had a special section for modified cars.
with some stonking motors in them.
