looking at this ebay advert earlier .. this tuscan (3rd row of the multiple pics) looks like its got a V8 transplant .. is it Richard off PH? didnt think his car was blue ..

[Big Al.]

No its not Speedeights, he's still got his. For future ref his is an apple green of some sort.

Does look like a transplant though.

[Bodmin]

Agree, does look like a V8 & unless I am not very much mistaken that looks like a pair of nitrous oxide valves at the front of the block

Bodders

Looks like a Yank V8 - can just make out a carb in the middle but the picture is pretty poor.

Looks like an older LS1 or something like that..

Bodders might be right - then red things at the front of the block might be NO2 solonoids..

Nice to see another one been done I'd say

Kind of thing I've got planned at a some distant point when funds allow

Naughty, naughty SPC


By the way its a Ford V8.....no dump valves I'm afraid just a boring old Dizzy!!!

Very poor picture but the valve covers are to flat and square for an ls1. Also ls's generally don't have carbs certainly not as stock although a carb kit is available aftermarket. That engine looks to have a 4 barrell, holley or edlebrock or carter. The red thing/s could also be the coils with a coolant transfer pipe behind them?

I wonder if it's one of the steve howard converted cars? rumour on ph was that he'd already done a couple ... ?

Looks great to me, deatails please

[trackcar]

too subtle for me, your profile says you have a tuscan red rose I'm not a mind reader you know !!!
I wondered what the naughty naughty was for, makes sense now .. I take it you'll be asking for a comission on every rolling road hour they sell using your car in their ad?

(looks good though)

[Boosted LS1]

I claim my £5 then Right on the carb, dizzy, maybe the coolant pipe and not an ls1. Best make that a tenner, lol. Pity it's a ford (joke), alloy or iron block?
