The V8 Owners Forum -

Now you are talking. . . . . .
Personally I think the Griffon is a better engine but not alot wrong with a merlin.
Napier Sabre is quite interesting too and not often dropped in a car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Napier_Sabre01.jpg

I have converted a pair of HS8 carbs into throttle bodies. Just gut the internals in a lathe and machine a sleeve inside the body. Piece of cake.
