5 LTR upgrade

[wooly350i]

Hi folks,am well under way with my upgrade to a 5 ltr RV8 non serpntine engine,but i am wondering if i need to upgrade the starter motor,any ideas please.

I think they all use the same starter. The TVR 5.0 was a bored 3.5 or 3.9 ltr anyway.

I did this a couple of years ago on my chim. Needed a 5L clutch, and a chipped remap to run with the 4L fuel injection system. Also brakes needed to be upgraded, and dont forget the boot badge Whilst things are apart it is well worth a stealth cam and 45mm ported trumpets and base before a remap.

Yep,thanks for info,it all helps to make an informed decision.Will be sticking with a recon standard starter motor plus new water pump,oil pump,uprated clutch,shortened trumps,ported/polished heads and manifold openings,lumpy cam and a packet of extra large pullups,ya know fill em up and wear em all day jobbys!!!!!!

Good luck with the install and just shout if you need another pair of hands for lifting etc.
