JE Trottle Bodies on Rover V8

[steve-V8s]

Hello

Rumour has it that one of you Marcos lot has fitted the JE crossover throttle bodies.
There is a bit if interest in them at the moment over on the Griffith forum and we are seeking out someone that has actually used them. Anybody got an idea who has them fitted, what spec the engine underneath was and the results ?

Hi Steve. Most Marcos owners post on the Marcos Sports Car Enthusiats site on Yuku. Try your post there you are more likely to get a response. Good Luck

I've got Jenveys on mine.
But it's got 2 seperate dcoe type manifolds on it.

Any chance of a picture of that ?

Yeah, I'd have to take the plenum off so you could see...otherwise you'll just see a big box with "Blow Job" written on it in marker pen (temporary plenum)

This is intriguing.
So you have Jenvy throttle bodies. Mounted on DCOE manifolds but with a plenum on top ? I wonder do the DCOE manifolds turn the appropriate angle to get the bodies vertical. All sounds very interesting, how did you do the throttle linkage?
So many questions, you have got me all excited now.

They do indeed turn the appropriate angle to get the bodies vertical
And the linkage is a work of art


And when I find my allen keys.....

[cazzer]

Mine still isnt on the road

But funding has just become available.

We need to chat methinks

[leylandracer]

Another LM with the JE Xover:-) surly not.......It’s definitely a expensive conversion, I put a few more pics on the marcosforum.org, just hope its worth the pain :-)

Steve

[cazzer]

No mine has seperate dcoe manifolds.
But its not going well.
I'm about 40 miles from ya btw.

[leylandracer]

Its deffo painfull, will have to have a chat as we are not a million miles away

[cazzer]

Looks like you binned the dizzy....how you firing the spark?

[leylandracer]

Correct, im using a Megasquirt ecu, coilpacks etc

[cazzer]

Yeah I went down that route and blew the megasquirt up

I have a DTA on there now. I really could do with coming up and having a look if you don't mind?
