Hi guys again.
Thanks again to all that advised me against the TR8. Too many unknowns.
I spent the majority of the weekend looking at many cars, including a few
BMW 633s, a few 280 and 300XZs, a couple Stags, and a few others I will not
even bore you all with. All I succeeded in doing was wasting a lot of gas
and getting frustrated. How can there be so much junk in one area.
I did however inherit a 3.5 EFI engine out of a Rover. One of the Stag
owners had one laying on his garage floor. It happens that he sold his
Stag a couple months ago(old adds and stockpiled Autotraders do come in
handy at times). The fact is he did not really know what it was worth and
needed it out. I took care of hauling it off for him. Aren't I nice? It
is a 35k engine with FI and computer.
I now need a TR8 bellhousing and bellhousing parts to convert my TR7. I
also need a TR8 Crossmember and maybe an oilpan(I do not know if the Rover
oil pan is the same). I know someone had some parts advertised not to
long ago, but I have lost the emails.
I am on a wife made budget so the parts need to be cheap. Unless I cannot
find them then I will entertain a bit more money to do it.
Thanks
John
