Fitting that power and toque to the chassis is one thing but think about using a more modern TVR rolling chassis that has stronger less rusty tubes plus both fount and rear uprights and brakes can take the upgrade wheel base is the same and fits to the m body without massive mods this will be a lot cheaper to do that build it all up out of parts from different cars and try and make it work.
Finding another newer chassis may be easy to do in the UK, but not in the US. Good idea but then there is reality. Ths frame is dirty, but not rusty, and will be reinforced. And there are plenty of guys with 300+hp TVRs. This will be 405HP at the crank, and not a dragster....

Nope.
Just a 5000M with a little more punch...AC Cobra killer is the goal.

Interesting. What more modern TVR chassis has the same wheelbase and was designed for over 400bhp?

This was tongue in check.

See my Profile (Chim LS6 wink).

TVRMs - all TVR's post the Griff200 / 400's were 90" Wheelbase bar the Cerb..
