The V8 Owners Forum -

I'm using a Pierburg rollervane pump which is mounted inline on the crossmember outside the tank on my 4.6 SD1 with Eddy 500. Supposed to support 340hp, rated at 3.9 - 5.5 psi, delivers 130 litres per hour (34.34GPH), self priming, lift capable, no return, very quiet, weighs 0.5kilo. I think they're...

Neat install, should go well. MGB I presume?

I have a Crane 218 in my 4.6 SD1. Good street cam, reasonable idle, plenty of mid range punch. The 216 is maybe a bit tamer

Should do. I've got Crane lifters in my 4.6 and they're also specified for BOP 215, 300, 340 and even Holden 253, 308, 350.

Great looking car. Can't remember the last time I saw one on the road but they're certainly impressive. There's a couple of P6B owners with 4.6 engines fitted on the forum I believe.

Paul, it's a fair while ago now since I did this but from memory I think I left the original pick up pipe in place and removed the electric pump part of the device. The Pierburg pump lifts the fuel up out the tank ok and feeds it through to the engine at WOT, and that's with big valve Buick heads.

The OEM in tank pump on my 4.6 SD1 struggled to supply enough fuel for the Edlebrock at WOT. I replaced it with a Pierburg rollervane pump which is mounted inline on the crossmember outside the tank. Supposed to support 340hp, rated at 3.9 - 5.5 psi, delivers 130 litres per hour (34.34GPH), self pri...

Not quite what you're after, but I use Felpro Permatorque Buick 300/340 tin gaskets sprayed with clear acrylic paint and have never had a problem, though I do use ARP studs in place of the OEM head bolts. http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/fel-8172pt/overview/make/buick They'll raise your CR but ...

No none at all, but you'll need to rejet it. Best bet is to buy Edelbrock's jetting kit and start trying different combinations of jets, springs, rods etc. It's easier if you have an AFR meter, or access to a dyno, but it can also been done by trial and error on the road. Like others, I too found th...

Any photos? Pretty quick for a 3.5. Wonder why a P6B block. 12.5 CR is high for 95 octane. Interesting it's still running full emissions with air pump. This was the first thing that you used to remove on the Aussie spec 'detoxed' SD1s.

The drum brake backplate sits in the gap between the axle shaft and the end of the axle housing.. When I did my rear disc conversion I cut the backplate right down so that the remains of it just acted as a spacer to fill out the gap.

Used quite a bit here on V8 Holdens. Some guys have had trouble tuning Demons and prefer Holley or Quickfuel carbs

Never been very impressed with Mallory dizzys. I replaced my old Lucas electronic dizzy with a Scorcher Electronic Dizzy made up by Performance Ignitions in Melbourne This company specialises in building high output racing ignition systems for the past 30 years and have contributed to some of Austra...

This may help

This was done a lot here in the 1980s and 90s, Rover 3.5 and P76 inlet manifolds were cut down to accept 2 barrel carbs, usually Holley 350s I seem to recall, many of which went into Range Rovers.
