EFi V8 Conversion for sale
If you are looking
for a V8, this is well worth a look. Compared with the original
MGBGTV8s, it has a newer, stronger motor - the cylinder compression
was checked last summer and was 150 in all eight cylinders. It also
has the much better SD1 5 speed gearbox and fuel injection. Consequently,
it doesn't require constant tweeking, always starts first time,
idles nicely and accelerates smoothly, giving more horsepower and
better fuel economy than the twin SU carburettors used on the original
MGBGTV8s. The only issue you would ever have is replacing the ECU
but this one is brand new (fitted in April 2004) providing years
of trouble free motoring. |
Black 3119 (GHDS474867G) - with a 3.5 litre fuel injected Range Rover engine with an SD1 five speed gearbox and an MGC rear axle. This 1978 GT was completely restored in 1996 prior to the conversion to V8 power by Clive Wheatley mgv8parts. For full details of the extensive specification see the additional webpage. Car is in excellent condition and comes with 12 months MOT. (22.6.04 & 25.9.04) Contact Ross Dunlop on 07775 658873 or by email Engine/Drive Train: 3.5 litre fuel injected Range Rover engine is mounted on flexible V8 engine mounts. V8 oil pump, radiator and twin fans. Rover SD1 5 speed gearbox (gearbox tunnel has been enlarged to accomodate this) with an SD1 clutch slave cylinder, V8 propshaft and an MGC back axle. Suspension/Brakes: Spax shock absorbers front and rear. V8 front coil springs, and V8 rear leaf springs. Enlarged V8 anti-roll bar, V8 competition wishbone bushes, and V8 disks, calipers and pads. MG Minilite wheels with new top of the line Michelin front tyres. Body/Interior: The car was completely restored in 1996 prior to its conversion to V8 power. I have pictures of the work carried out. All corrosion was cut out and new panels were welded onto the car before it was repainted. Consequently the body is in fantastic shape eight years on. Since I have owned the car it has only been driven in fair weather and has been garage-stored throughout the winters. The interior was also new in 1996 and is still in good shape but does suffer from the usual wear and tear of eight years' use. Exhaust: Janspeed tail pipe mated to a 2.0 litre Saab silencer and resonator. This gives it a reasonably quiet but wonderful V8 burble. Security/Other: A Cobra immobiliser has been fitted. |
