Ed Poore Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Pah! I should have made some enquiries for you about an engine I was semi-seriously offered for my Series. Was a V12 from a Daimler IIRC, something in excess of 5L anyway, but the chap wanted a lorry axle in exchange and I didn't happen to have one handy...

Ed Poore Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nope, didn't want the hassle of trying to find some insurance for it. Or for that matter trying to stop it on drums. Settled for stripping and rebuilding the 2.25. Unfortunately because I was on an extremely tight deadline didn't get any photos of the engine rebuild. Got a few (profile pic is one) of the gearbox rebuild. Do regret it now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Go for it Nige.. Just don't strip it down and rebuild it or you will be off the road for another 5 or 12 or 56 months !!! Think of balancing that lot.... Oh and dizzy again.. Nice retro touch for you ! LOL Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's a mixture of interesting and crusty and horrible. I'm with Dan, looks like it would blow up. A NOS kit would be better value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 NOS or should Nige just go LS1 and have a real engine? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think that would go well with a low compression 3.5 engine. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
