SEAC spec's ?

[Waynester]

What were the standard spec's for SEAC's, specifically the 450?

Have been reading 'TVR, The Complete Story' (except it only goes up to the mid '90's) by John Tipler.

It states that only 3 450 SEACs had power steering fitted? Is this the case? Just wondered if accurate or not.

Ps: Mine is fitted with power steering.

What about aircon? Mine doesn't, but i think Rev's does.

Just curious.

Wayne You tell us your spec and how many rose joints etc and we'll call that the standard

Ps do you have the ripple bodywork on that one

No not jealous much

You need to drive it and not read pistonheads as much

There was no standard spec. for SEACs. Except the body shape :-)

No ripples...that i've found. As far as i know only a few 420's had kevlar panelling?? Quite happy to be corrected.
I'm going to do some chassis painting soon so will have a good look at what bits it has.

Your right about needing/wanting to drive more, but the weathers cac, plus i have stacks of work..

Less time on Ph's Paul Nope, i'd have to do some work then!

Ok, what were the possible options, P/steering, aircon etc...?

Wayne - are you sure yours is a real one .. and not a re-bodied 400 SE

Seriously - mine did have A/C .. not now though.

The spec sheet is a card from TVR with the spec on it .. they ocassionally come up on Ebay - not sure if there is one on the SEAC pages.

Anything around 350 bhp would be good..

Yes and so it should considering what the rev has done.

This is TVR not Ford. As long as TVR could build it then they would so almost anything that you could think of; I don't think that you'll find 660 or racer options on any spec sheet.

True - looking forward to seeing & hearing it!

Alan are you going to put an article together for sprint/wedgepages/SEAC pages?
Looking to get my engine rolling roaded once i'm confident she's fully run in. Even at 450 it's enough for me - you're just being greedy

Top effort.

I like to set expectations low .. then if it's more

one of the Tuscans Racers with a 5.0 RV8 with rover heads is getting 350 BHP. at the fly.
It's a very sorted engine. but you should easy be able to top that with your heads and another 300cc

Plus in the series the BHP is checked so it not a TVR BHP number lots of std 500's have made 300 BHP on the dyno, so it's not out of the question.
