RV8 into Stag (again!)

Post by Fed_up_Stag-owner »

Hi all

My Stag has been resting for the best part of 5 years (corroded heads, seized studs, failed head gasket), the RV8 powered TVR I bought to cannibalise for the engine has been more than reliable for 5 years (well, the engine has!). But it's time to sell the TVR (haven't the heart to break it) and return to the Stag.

I couldn't face the Triumph engine in the Stag, I know that RV8 will devalue the Stag but I prefer the reliability (in my experience). So, to get to the point, what would be approximate costs to transplant. Stag is manual, I'd prefer to keep it as a manual, 150bhp max would be fine (don't want to get into upgrading the Stag rear end). 30 hours labour? £1k parts (including engine)?
