It was looking a bit forlorn without its engine last weekend but
a cracking motor. Not stalking you, just happened to park on
your street and have a gander!! How is the V8 coming along?

Various engine pics, one shows the water thing needed at the
back of the inlet manifold. I need to get some longer flywheel
bolts, a spigot bush. The oil filter adaptor i have just bought
cheap a milner adaptor that points the filter up instead of
using pipes and shit so its now surplus to requirements.
Im am going to sort the flywheel bits first then fit it in, i
have to reweld on a drivers side mount then il finish the engine
off properly.
So moving forwards. I need to cut out some of the passenger
footwell and replate it, next biggish nob spanner job im not
looking forward to!

Why dont you remove the wings, for the time it takes it makes
fitting the engine much easier.

Right an update! Engine is in and bolted up, I have made and
engine mount and welded it on. I also discovered the sd1
flywheel being thinner means the clutch slave cylinder does not
have enough travel to disengage it. So i need more travel, I cut
the slave cylinder bracket down and rewelded the top on moving
it all down which also stopped the rubber pipe being jammed up
against the bulkhead tunnel so all good. So i have a fully
working clutch. Its getting nearer, just spanner jobs etc now

Well im sick of this!! i ve done 7 engine conversions, 4 big
perkins and 2 tdi, s plus a prima. This v8 has bay miles been
the worst of the lot, everything is difficult and needs
adapting......and who designed the v8 with so many inaccessible
bolts etc :banghead
Anyway rant over, im at the stage of having it turning over.
Things left to do are, fit one manifold, fuel pump, wire in a
few things, build an exhaust, adapt passenger floorpanel and
fit.
I need a pic to show where all the carb connections go and
vacuum pipes go as well.
Basically its cost me a fortune i parts and has been a total
nightmare, will it be worth it?? will it run. Fuck knows if not
itl be up for sale! :loser:
I could never say to anyone yes fit a v8 it easy!! Dmmy spit
