The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi All,

I'm Pete from Sheffield, and have a bit of a history with V8s, did a 302cu Capri way back in 1979, and a couple of V8 MGBs in the mid 90s.

I'm about to start collecting the parts to fit an RV8 into my Porsche 944, not sure which variant yet, but only looking for 200 ish BHP, would have liked to go the Renegade LS route but the economics are against me until Sterling recovers considerably more.

200 bhp is pretty well standard Vitesse 3.5 or 3.9, give or take. I'd use the hotwire injection as a basis but with MS and wasted spark from a crank trigger. MS3 and a modified dizzy for cam signal if you want sequential. Very easy way to a cheap and reliable 200 bhp - or slightly more.

Thanks Dave, I've just converted an E Type to injection / ExtraEFI MS2, and getting pretty familiar with MS, I'd post pics but its 2 pots short

I need to find an engine, and I think a GM180 bell housing with a concentric slave will best suit my need, I was also thinking of using a Holley carb as a throttle body, and modifying a single plane manifold to take port injectors, I do like the classic look of the central round air filter.
