So at Gary’s normal rate of progression, it’ll start out with a Rover V8 and before we know it, he’ll have passed through a seven litre plus Yank job with nitrous to a full big block twin blower job!!

good work - the fun bit for many is aquiring the parts

I put a narrowed XJ IRS in our old Marcos and didn’t bother with the radius arms, not needed as long as you mount the diff properly. I’m not familiar with the setup on your chassis, but as long as the diff mounts are solid or at least very firm metalastics, I doubt they bothered with the radius arms either. Different story if they stuck with the entire subframe and multiple rubber mounts though.

enjoy the project

Thanks.

I established the other day that the diff is indeed solid mounted, so the rear trailing arms do not need to be sourced/fitted. I have also decided that the front ARB is not really necessary

Hi Gary,

I'm putting a V8 in my Westy over the winter. In your mega range of parts do you have a spare throttle linkage, like the one in my pic?

thanks,

John.

John,

I have only just started collecting parts for the build myself, so I don't think I will have a spare.

Sorry mate

Loving this Gary, looking forward to updates! Cobra is top of my list. Can't wait to see it.

Thanks, I like a project, and this one presented itself so it had to be done!

Hopefully things will start to move soon.

Well before I can build the car, I need somewhere to build it 

Some materials arrived today
