Managed at long last to obtain a 500 engine without being scammed by the Ebay naughty people. The engine needs a flywheel, and an inlet manifold and trumpet base. Don't suppose anyone would have a flywheel? The plenum isn't so much of an issue, as I can get one from JE on exchange.

Any help I would be most grateful.

Having been down this road recently, the best source will be TVR Power (considerably lighter than the Real Steel /V8 Tuner offerings... the difficulty will be in sorting the balance issues. Be prepared for having the fly, clutch, crank and pulley balanced as an assembly (apparently how the 500s were built)

In order to use a 500 flywheel on my V8D 4.6, I had to ask for it to be neutrally balanced as each component is done individually onm that build. Endless fun smile

I have a spare inlet manifold and trumpet base , but they are the 38mm spec so would need machining and porting.

This is what I am going to get done for my new engine.
