Stage 1 V8

I'll look out the details - I replaced this on mine, same as the 110 part no from memory.

110 v8 was out in 1984?

there are a few but very few and some others that are just home brew.

quite a lot + whatever I've managed to get from ebay ads.

If I get a min I'll put some stats on the v8.com site.

No idea on lead times - I only got one a week or so ago.

Will show a fabricator week after next and see what is what!

LT95 OD's not that rare and often up on ebay. For £450 it had better be perfect. And whilst yes it does fit the OD linkage is unique to the Stage One so you'll either need to wait until one comes up (not often) or fabricate something.

That spare engine I had under the bench needs pushrods that I have and rockers installing. is super clean inside and was sold as running.

Think it was £150 quid - if you want it and if it runs you can pay that for it if you are happy - from a RR?

Just let me know.

I though you were describing the old engine not the new one!

That's scary!

It free to borrow!

One between Newbury and Oxford if that helps.
