The V8 Owners Forum -

Brilliant info. Thanks Chris

Hi Guys, Just a quick one. In the pic I am pointing to the brass connections on the neck of the SU dashpot . Each carb has one and looks like a pipe should be connected to them. Are they just breather pipes which vent to atmosphere or some sort of balance pipe to join the 2 carbs together? http://im...

It says in his first post he is building a Rover 220 Coupe. Why are we going on about P5Bs?

I can understand that!

The Sherpa remote is approx 7" shorter than the standard SD1 remote and bolts straight on. The problem is they are pretty rare these days. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/chrismclaughlin/Picture083.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/chrismclaughlin/Picture084.jpg One went on ebay...

From the front of the bellhousing to the output flange- 670mm.(approx)

Hi nick, have added your blog to my favourites.
Looks like a great project. Does the bonnet need a hump?


I mean to clear the engine!

So do you!

I have one and will swap for your sherpa one if you fancy?

Looks Good!!

Car- 1984 Capri LS 5.0 litre (302) V8, T5 box, LSD axle

How much of this is actually fitted to the car?

Dont think its worth cutting much out of the sump because the gearbox bell housing is nearly as low.

Can't the engine be shimmed up on the mounts to give the required clearance?

I,m the one with the glasses!
