Hi peeps went out today and bought a 1967 herald with mot til october in a gud unrestored condition yipee

I guess this topic has just become interesting.....

Any Pics Mr Rhys ?

I'd suggest you buy "Retro Cars", "Retro Ford", "Classic Car" and "Practical Performance Car" magazines. 90% of the stuff in them are mechanical based.
They cover things like this, there are a couple of decent sites who deal with advanced modification like this. All the ones with the beardy types.

There is an older Ford V8 that is smaller and thinner than the Rover V8 and it'll fit in. You will have to cut away the bulkhead in most case and modify the rack with the Rover.

rover V8 is an amazing engine,with a sweet sound.get one

in grass track racing yyeeeeaaarrrrs ago i seen a few mini pick ups with v8's with chargers on pushing 440bhp and 380nm no probs. i'd say the only prob would be stopping, willwood 4pots on 285discs are approx 600notes

Volvo 240 4 pot brakes. 40 quid.

or the cav v6 288mm there very good for the money

The 240's also have LSD on rwd axle. Very well specced mechanically.

Fiat Coupe Turbo brakes are also very good (Brembo), and have the standard carrier attachments.
