Tuscan V6 or V8

[thegamekeeper]

Just seeking opinions. Just collected a Tuscan V6 project which has been fitted with a 289 Ford V8. The engine and gearbox turn out to be highly desirable pre 1965 and so quite valuable. The chassis is perfect, body has been completely stripped ready for painting and is in brilliant condition. Vast ammounts have been spent on parts and there is a file showing huge amounts have been spent at Rodley Motors (and others)completely reconditioning and tuning the engine.
Would make superb Tuscan V8 or V6 (engine/box available). Which way to go??

Drop in a Kent 1600 and turn it into a Vixen

So, you are on a sports car forum and you ask the members if you should build a nice quick car, or a wonderful fast car

Return the Tuscan to a proper V6 you heathen spawn of satan and donate the engine and Box to a historic racer in return for sponsorship advertising on a car.

Only 101 V6`s made, must be quite a few less still around with their Zodiac engines now, i`d put it back to original spec.........Martin (ex Tuscan V6 owner).

So many V6's have been converted to V8 it would be wonderful to see one go back to where it started. I've come across more that have been converted to V8 than in their original form!
