Fits in a Grief and Chimp,so maybe

How heavy are they compared to the RV8 then?

[grahamw48]

It better include the gearbox and all the wiring gubbins though.

I think it's a lightweight unit isn't it ?

What exactly are you thinking of fitting it in Graham? Fiat X19

Very and it's a narrow angle. Why is he selling it?

Great project! J

[grahamw48]

Wash your mouth out !

A WEDGE of course !

Hmmmm....straight through big bore, no cat, hmmmmyumyum.

TR7 then

Can it not be mated to the LT77?

[Pilo-Wedgebits]

Shouldn't take the piss really out of the old man. I once owned a TR7 but at least it had a V8 conversion

[grahamw48]

TR7...no comment.

JR...can't see the sort of LT77 box I could afford taking the power.

For a transplant I'd always go with the matching box/clutch,etc.

A stronger gearbox would be nice but from your earlier comment I thought that you had budgetary concerns. Although Steve Heath is now running 600bhp+ he did use the standard box for a long time; IIRC 8 years and up to about 400bhp. If you wanted to spread the cost ...

[grahamw48]

Yes, I was thinking about Steve's car, but I believe he strengthened parts of the chassis and had to uprate the driveshafts/ujs, which seems reasonable.

I wonder how much the the 400 joints can cope with ? They do seem to have a good reputation.

I'd want to use it for drag racing, so the rear end (and gearbox/clutch) would take some stick.

The alternative would be a big yank motor, for which there is also plenty of tuning possibilities ....just thought a matching TVR engine would be nice, and a bit different to the usual powerplants.
