Must admit to surprise the P6S four speed handles the torque from a 4.6. I managed to break a few with a 3.5. :D Is it not possible to fit the 5 speed SD1 box? That is direct in 4th and has an overdrive 5th. So would reduce the revs with the same axle. Hi Dave Yes it cope well but I'm sure it's my ...

Ok thanks for looking I've found a company that makes new ones I will wait for your reply before I ring them , I will need a new bearing I've been told that they are very expensive, are they anything special or can I take my old one out and take it to my local bearing shop ? We have a few good one i...

Hi guys update time I've put the 4ha axle from a reliant scimiter with the 3.3 ratio it's better but not right I need to go lower I will try a 3.08 next , am I right in thinking that all the CWP are inter changeable? Russell do you have any cwp for sale ?

Hi Richard
It all makes sense now thank you for that I've been going wrong for years ... I will let you know how I get on ... happy new year

Hi Richard Your right it's a nightmare lol so has my car stands now with the 3.7 diff at 70 I'm doing 4500 revs so the 3500s gearbox I have is a 3.08 . So the axle I have got fit is a ratio of 3.33 so it's closer to the 3.08 I need to natch my gearbox I think I'm just going to fit it and see what it...

Hi Richard You've got me thinking now I've Google the ratio of my gear box and I seem to get is its a 3.54 when I first did my engine swap my different was 3.89 and was no good to drive on the road which it is used for and the odd drag strip so then I put a 3.7 ratio different in which was better bu...

Thanks for that info I will do a lot more research I think they use them on the mk2 jags

Hi guy's Hope you all had a good Christmas. I bought a reliant scimitar axle to go on my 4.5 humber sceptre , I'm on my 3rd diff now and not got any more so I thought it's about time to upgrade, so I bought this axel the guy told me it was a 3.54 ratio but when I got it and started to stop it I noti...

Are you sure this isn't a casting number - cast into the side of the block. The engine number is usually found stamped into the top of the block on the left hand side between the two centre cylinders. No its stamped where the dipstick goes in I will try to put a pic up Ha no I can't post one just t...

Hi guys I've just picked up an 3.9 engine its been stored and never run since he ordered it many years ago it's got a engine number I can't seem to find on a list 9762/3.9/AE03 the heads onhave been confirmed has JE heads but the engine number isn't his , so Any help or info would be grateful Dave

I couldn't find any threads on here. Do you have any more info Rob? I can't find much at present, and in fact some have said the std manifold doesnt flow that well anyway. I think I'm going to buy the Edelbrock performance manifold just to get the engine finished, and I can always research and test...

Thanks guys I will check them out this week they both make sense

Hi guys I've had my V8 humber on the road for about six weeks now and ever since its first motor way journey it's had a vibration from the backend but IT'S not always there there first I went and got my wheels balanced. Still vibration but I can't narrow it down to what it is a rand the company who ...

Hi Chris yes its on the list of to do my stock axle is holding up ok so far but I will kn in the very near future I will have to put a capri or scimitar axle and the front is in hand GAZ are in the process of finding out what sort of work they can do on my struts and brakes but as it stands if it's ...

Hi Dave that would be nice I'd be happy with over 200 you say head work is that port and polished and flow tested I put a 3.9 cam in her when I rebuilt her I would like to put proper headers on it but I got much room on the drivers side shame because that would be easy hp
