Has anyone got an idea of the best place to obtain a Griff 4.0 or 5.0 V8 Engine from. With wiring loom etc.

A friend is trying to put a V8 into a Locost Based Chassis.

Cheers

yeah he wants more power. he has got a mk2 escort x flow powered lowcost. But he wants some thing for track days.

He got the idea from Westfield as they put a V8 in one of there kit cars and he wants to do the same

Err...How does he plan to keep the back stuck to the road? What about the weight concerns?
That sounds really ambitious
