V8 conversion

[commeracer]

Paul JL has decided that the daily news van is due a slight power increase, so we have one Ford 400 (6.6L) V8 sitting here, along with loads of boxes of serious tuning goodies, including some Air flow dynamics aluminium heads from Australia.

Kermit's going to get spaltted!

 

[Panky]

It's not Paul who's doing this - it's Evel
You had to be at Tatton a couple of years ago to understand that one

 

[bazzateer]

I understand, he was at Commerfest 2015 too as I recall.

I was just thinking that Kermit may not be the fastest any more!

 

[Panky]

Only one way to decide it

sounds like a Santa Pod meet to me

 

[colinthefox]

You could time the run with yer almanac.

[Panky]

Good grief, where's it going - in the back?

 

[commeracer]

It's no bigger than a Rover V8, so will fit in the normal place, although i think we may slide it back a few inches to easier exhaust routing.

 

[Panky]

proper lump

 

[CommerVanDan]

I can't wait to see this!
I've brought the idea of a Toyota 2JZ transplant to my dad, I haven't had a definite answer...yet.

+1 for the Santa Pod race-off too.

 

[PaulJL]

Evel says its gonna be mental!

 

[PaulJL]

so true.

 

[Colin Stewart]

How true my daily ride

 

[Panky]

Very nice. I'm sure with a bit of ingenuity (enginuity) The motor could be grafted into your pick-up

 

[PaulJL]

just waiting for the nod now....... I think Tatton is too close to have it done by but next year is gonna cost me a fortune in fuel!
