Hehe. That should silence the "it's not a proper TVR without a V8" brigade.

Crikey I think i've just soiled myself.

[madbadger]

Awesome.

£5250 is just for the engine! Car not included.

[pringli]

If only they hadnt chopped my overtime

[clarenceboddiger]

I would have thought that £5250 for that level of HP is a pretty good price.

[steve j]

me, that in an S!!!!!!!!

I'd be thinking about it if I had some cash spare. But would the car take it?!! That's ridiculously fast!!! And I at least want to get LSD in my car if I put that in. Now that would whip any Chimaera/Griff eh?? I reckon woudl even give a Cerbera a good run for it's money. Could you imagine the 0-60??? Must be something like 3.5 - 3.9 seconds! If I had a big ton of cash, I'd seriously consider it.

I reckon thats a steal of a price!

You could buy a bloody car for that!

Thats alot of engine for the money, and if its built properly like it sounds it is, then ought to be reliable (mpg...what`s that?). I do not know where the turbos or exhaust headers would fit in an "S" though. As for the power, the car can handle it if its set up properly, but not sure about the driver!?

[Orophin]

Anybody going to buy it then?? Somebody has too! I'm still saving up

there's options on where the turbos can go. we had them ahead of the engine on tubular extensions off the cast manifolds, the manifolds can be run both ways up aswell so turbos can sit directly on top or underneath the manifolds if required, or boosted does some new cast manifolds with the turbos in front of the manifolds attached directly. there will be a way to get it in!!

I've been doing a lot of thinking on this engine and to be honest it's worth a lot more than 4k to me at the moment. The engine is a cracker and it has been improved since I last run it with the ARP head studs and additional manifold mountings.

It's now on PH for a fair price, if it doesn't sell in the next week I'll be keeping it for a project.

Bugger. I'd just secured the speed 12 engine deal. Is that not the plan now?

[ceejay]

Is that the plan where we have a speed 6 in the front and a spare in the back??
