Name the Engine

[YI8TVR]

As the title says can anybody name the lump and what its in.

Its a bit blurry sorry


Edited to say name is make but tell me the bhp and torque.

I have put it in the SP6 forum as i presume this is where it would be appreciated most..

Ford V8. Dunno the car, maybe a late 60's/early 70's british ford? Actually that cant be right, is it an old TVR?

It looks like it maybe a 289 Hipo Ford in a TVR Tuscan or Griffith that someone still can't find a way through the drivers side manifold for the steering rack depite modifying the footwell

A guess at 400BHP and 450ft/lbs of torque?? Standard hipo was 279 bhp IIRC

Yes its a Ford and yes again its going in a Griffith Lightweight. And it was originally built for the GT40

Should blow a few doors off on the track..

I have changed my mind on revealing the torque

Mark, There must be more lightweight Griffiths around today than the total number of Griffiths built.
