The V8 Owners Forum -

I'm building a V8 trike and after buying a SD1 engine that turned out to be completely shot I saw a Tvr 400 engine listed with 45k miles on it for not much more than a good 3.5 Rover lump would go for.

I only have an alternator and managed to find a shorter belt from a Nissan Navaro that works with just Crank, Water Pump, Alternator and tensioner.

Is the Webber/Edelbrock a good carb for the 4.0? Mines a TVR engine so has a lairier cam. Also whats the best manifold if heights not an issue?
Thanks

I can see it has duel valve springs and im guessing a Cam of some sort. It still has EFI but im going to get a Weber 500 car...
