You mean like this?

383 roller camshaft Edelbrock head Chevy in a Gordon-Keeble. Also with Muncie M21 and Harvey Bailey suspension.

[onomatopoeia]

Here's mine



Singer Chamois, 998cc engine, twin Weber 40DCOEs on a combined manifold with an across the back silencer, approx 4" extra ground clearance from longer springs with spacers, 13"x4" wheels (std is 12x4.5) from an Austin A35 (I think), radiator at the front etc. Note the spare wheels carried on the engine lid to move the weight distribution backwards.

Used for classic trialling (see my profile pic as well) when it works.

Loving these big re-worked Yank V8's in the old Brit GT cars

My dads supercharged Austin 7 box saloon. (The one on the left).

Here's mine, it was originally a Mk2 Escort 1600 Sport






Runs a 380hp Cosworth Turbo engine, gets driven everywhere. The first pic was at the Nurburgring last Easter, drove there and drove it home after.

That box can take some hammer, IIRC Aston Martin chose it for the Automatic twin Super Charged Vantage.

They had some variety of the later four-speed A518, I was wondering if the CV8 still had a three-speed 727.

IIRC it was the 3 speed in the V8 Supercharged Vantage not the four speed.

Ford 302 + T5 in a TVR 3000M ...





My Fairthorpe Electron Minor has a "big bore" upgrade from 950cc to 1147cc :-)

Indeed, still the 727, all be it considerably beefed up. They are cheap (ish) to rebuild and are fairly bullet proof. The 496 Stroker has been built as a torque monster with not too wild a Cam for mooching around in London traffic if neccesary.

[Nick_F]

It's an eyesore under the bonnet, so no pics of that...

[Weslake-Monza]

Some very nice classics though nothing on SUs!

[mrmop]

Not Quite twin carbs, but certainly qualifies as a modified classic

I approve of this a lot. In fact I approve of your entire car collection. Your garage looks nice too. Can I come visit?
