Mesmerising !
nice progress bud!
Cheers. It's coming along nicely 👌 👍
Great job, and very nostalgic for me. A Cloyes timing chain was part of a Rover V8 engine build I did over 40 years ago. Iskendarian cam kit from California, Holley 360cfm double pumper through common plenum manifold, plasma spark ignition, electric fuel pump, stage 1 heads etc. I used a custom built adapter plate to mate a Jag 4 speed box with overdrive to a Rover auto bellhousing. All slotted into a mk2 2 door escort. Seam welded, gusseted, roll cage, slipper springs, gp4 turreted bilsteins, 4 link + panhard rod. Turreted roller top front shocks, strut brace, double width anti roll bar, 3L Capri rear axle, 4 pot caliper brakes (from Austin Princess, cross drilled to take single line system! Huge money saver - bolt straight on to Ford strut). Rallye sport split exhausts. Totally stripped out with only 2 bucket seats and 6 point harnesses, it weighed under 1 ton and had 285bhp. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Built it to rally, but had to use remaining kitty for something else. Blew off everything, including regularly one particular Ferrari, who eventually gave up. Drove it for 4 years then sold it to a guy who wrote it off within 3 weeks. Wonderful engine to work on.
Glad you enjoyed it.
First time for me working on a v8 so wad kind of feeling my way but an engines an engine even if it has 4 more cylinders than I'm used too 😅 👍
Brilliant, thanks. I'll be doing my Range Rover quite soon so you are a bite of an inspiration - I just need to stop watching TH-cam videos and get on with it :-)
Glad to be of assistance. Lol.
Easy to spend many hours watching videos. 👍
Great and detailed work
Cheers. It's not looking bad if I do day so myself. 👍
@@stusoldcars4248 I wish the modern kv6 stuff was as straightforward as the v8 units. Heart breaking is an understatement.
@@RobsonRoverRepair I know little about the more modern rovers, closest I've ever come is having a rover metro many years ago. 👍
I do like the simplicity of the older stuff.
This is really coming together,bet you are so pleased with yourself,can't wait for next vid
Very pleased with how it's going.
Afraid your have to wait until next week for another vid. 👍
I had a problem with my v8 years ago ref oil pump not primed properly although i thought it was.
Took distribtor out cut an old screwdiver up and put on a drill and spun drive and worked a treat...
Its looking good.your def getting there...cheers...
I'll be doing that myself soon to prime it and again to confirm prior to fitting the distributor and firing up.👍👍
Another fascinating video.its all coming together.look forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully this will be the year its finished. Lol. 👍👍👍👍
Interesting that you didn't degree your camshaft in......
Would of done had I had been building anything other than a standard engine.
But didn't fit a vernier timing gear so just dot to dot on the timing.
great work, cant wait to hear it running is the cam standard lift ?.
I can't wait either although not looking forward to the first 20 mins to break the cam in.
Is a standard cam. 👍
Super alles klasse
Hi,when is the next vid?
Hopefully tonight 👍
