The V8 Owners Forum -

hello, i am thinking of investing in a new fuel pump for my westfield V8. it will be running anywhere between 220 and 250 bhp and it uses a webber 500 4 barrel carb. So i know that max pressure should be 5.5 to 6psi. But not sure how to work out the flow rate requirements? Any pointers? The one belo...

hi, its a webber 500 (around 1 year old) just checked and float chamber area seems ok,

ignition is MSD coil and amplifier

hi guys, i hope someone can help, just took my westfield v8 out for its first drive post engine rebuild and its really not happy. Seems to be ok on idle and part throttle but as soon as you get to half throttle or more, you get an enormous backfire from the exhausts. So what could this be? only thin...

yeah, ive got two of em, just wasnt sure if it was necessary to get gaskets that seal up that centre section

hello, just a simple q. can the gaskets below be used on my performer manifold? ive a edelbrock 4 barrel (500) going on too after a spacer. im sure my last gaskets had 4 holes? http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/chris-durham/D9064F34-5EF5-4DA8-882A-FC4279DB162E_zps0xftdddn.jpg http://i49.photobu...

cheers, do you know what car its off?

hello, anyone with a rv8 in a type 7?

im wondering what you have used for the expansion tank?

hi guys, as part of my rebuild i bought a vernier timing set up. below is the spec of my cam, so just slightly confused and hoping someone can confirm ive done it right. im assuming the intake centre line of 104 deg is the point of max lift? and this is a symetrical cam. i was getting confused in th...

Sorry for my long absence here now got back to looking at all this again. The heads are no away with v8 developments to see what can be done. Spec of the bottom end doesn't seem to match either.

I guess someone has kept the good heads somewhere lol

Tbh no idea where any of the stuff originally came from as some of the spec doesn't match what I have in front of me

ok the inside of the piston reads "hepolite HRC1827 and also 22058A"

found someone on line who seems to specialise in pistons, according to his books, these are RR 3.9 low compression?

hi guys, OK, so am trying to figure out how this engine has been built up. So far: original 3.9RR bock with 9.35:1 CR bore 94mm Stroke 77mm so we can assume a 4.2 crank? Pistons? as per my other thread Hepolite 22058a which one person has told me after looking through some old parts books, relate to...

hi guys, in the process of trying to identify what is actually fitted to my westfield V8, i have taken a close up pick of the pistons, that i was told were forged, do any of the markings on them mean anything>? http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/chris-durham/A4C8B387-7A28-42D9-8A9B-EC49D4E1428F_...

hi guys, i am just in the process of stripping the rv8 thats fitted to my westfield. Prior to my ownership, it has had quite a lot of mods done to it, but some im not 100% sure on. So first question is regarding the timing chain, the notes with the car say crower cam and timing gear. I've taken a pi...
