Hi there
Assuming there was a 2.5k differential between the options below, what would you guys and girls prefer.
(1) bullet proof TVR 500hp Speed six
Where are the S6 engine options? The S6 is only mentioned in this one and that's fantasy!
Maybe you should have called it S6 fantasy engine time inwhich case the 32vAJP8 would probably be most people's choice. Note that plasticman has already fitted the AJP8 into a T-chassis.

Thanks, this is a poll, on the above engines
JR said:My estimate at (1) is it seems suspiciously like a TVRCraft redesigned Speed 6 with a supercharger (350na plus 150).

In this case (1) would get my vote since its characteristics suit the TVR's the best overall (most power, doing it controllably through highest revs). I still doubt such an engine would be as durable overall as the GM units, but see no reason why it shouldn't be up to AJP8 standards

Not sure this is a fair representation of each option eg prices
This is a fair representation
OK try putting some prices to them then.
It would be good to be kept as a simple poll,however based on
SP6 + strengthened T5 main shafts
SBC + tremac tko
SBC,LSX + tremac tko

Speed 6. With the current manufacturers claimed output would be fine for me.
I suspect TVR's Speed six figures are more accurate than Rover V8s you know. Reason: Mine made near as dammit to TVRs figures at Austec yesterday. Completely standard apart from Magnecor leads.

Thats good to know, have heard only good things from Austec too, have a feeling thats where my engine will end up via SP when its time for the dreaded - however, I'd still plump for the S6, every time

I'd just like to point out that there was/is nothing wrong with mine

Yes. Bit busy customer/jobs to do wise though! A good sign I guess.

i) SP6 + strengthened T5 main shafts
ii) SBC + tremac tko
iii) SBC,LSX + tremac tko
So going off internet prices that's
i) £17K+ gearbox stuff say £18K
ii) Say £10+/-£2K
iii) Say £13+/-£2K
hardly a 2.5 price difference whichever way you fiddle it.
Purely on engines option one is lightest, has the most power, has the block designed for the car and is defiantly British so it would be surprising if it weren't a clear winner. Paying for it and running costs is another matter altogether.
