I like that alot....just from an engineering point of view. I'd like to see the end result. Personally I like superchargers, especially for a Wedge. Apart from the the two V6 Turbo's that the factory did.I don't ever remember seeing of or heard of a Turbo V8 Wedge?

Wish I could throw large amounts of dosh in the direction of the 450SE!!!

Agreed, an interesting project. smile

There was of course the famous Nic Mann moggy thou...3.5 with twin turbos I believe:

Heat dissipation is usually the issue mentioned in connection with Wedges, but I suppose if the bonnet could be adapted, as here ?

They was not allowed to race like that, and had to cover most of it back up again, so not sure you could pass a MOT like it.

Yes I remember that Leigh.

Not sure about MOT requirements....bit different to race regs.

If beach buggies with half their mechanics sticking out their backsides can pass ? scratchchin

What about motorbikes with exposed engines?

On those Wedges there's nothing actually exposed to inquisitive fingers or loose clothing. smile
