Help regarding tr7 V8 conversion
Hello,
I just Got a Nice tr7 with a V8 conversion that is 90% finish, and i need a bit help to get it back on track. AS i see it, the waterpump is to long, and for the radiator/fan setup i only have a radiator. No brackets, fans or anything. Im NOT sure aboute the Electronics, for the enginebay, i Think that Electronics ignition is the Way to go, but which distributor and ignotion should i get. I will attach some photos, som you Can get an idea of the project. Engine nummer is 45120450 D Is that any god for tr7/8?? Best regards Nikolaj |

Engine number matches a P6, but the comp. ratio does not.
I would use a Buick timing cover & a Buick 300 water pump. |

Here you go:
[www.britishv8.org] Also, in the pics it looks like they didn't setback the motor mounts for the V8, as the engine looks fairly forward in the engine compartment. However, moving it back is a major bit of work as you need to change the engine and transmission mounts and tranny shifter assembly. [forum.britishv8.org] Edited 2 time(s).
