Engine and Transmission Tech

Art...........AMEN!

Now put this one in perspective! My project is a TR8 coupe that is 1 of 158 built. I am taking it down to a shell. Welding the seams and a roll cage. Reinforcing suspension connection points and opening up the wheel arches and screwing on fender flares and a spoiler. Oh and drilling holes for all kinds of neat gadgets! So the TR8 purist upon finding this out were a little puzzled. Yes there are TR8 purist and well what is considered modified TR8 which do all bolt on/in changes. I got the why not just convert a TR7 to TR8 specifications and build a rally car! My answer was I only see a TR8 in my garage. Why convert a TR7 to a TR8 and carry the badges as a TR8 when the same guys who look at me like I have a hole in my head will say.....well its a conversion and not a real TR8. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't!

Try to own a Chevelle street strip car without bucket seats or an SS dash... LOL

Ok, so if wer'e not, Rollin on a Riv... Wer'e On the Hiway to Hell... at least we'll have the party goin when "purist" arrive! roverman.

EASY now Grandpa........wouldn't want you having a "stroke" or something!

But stroke is exactly what we're talking about!! 3.95! LOL. Seriously, Mike, Start trickling out information dammit.

Yeah Mike, Both Tony and Nic are strokin to the beat and bout-out of ammo. That's ok, they'll need glasses and "we'll" be ok. roverman.

I wonder if I'm going to get hair on my palms for trying to stroke it.

I'm thinkin, you-know-who, was holdin that lump of coal to "hide" sumthin? You notice his "toon" is wearin them?? roverman.

LOL. We're gonna just keep polluting this thread until we get some info...

double post. I hate that.

I do not think I have ever found so many thread jacks as in this forum.... from big bore to not making tr7 to a tr8... keep it up guys (:

Bjorn, I call that poetic justice. "They" seriously twisted my serious roller cam", thread into a fat rope! Mike, If you would, "just spill the beans", we could all get back to our nominal level of sanity?? What say buddy?, u-no, "the needs of the many"? roverman.

Hey Art, I bet you could take some weight out of that roller cam and make the engine a little lighter. Wonder how much trouble it'd be to run a hole down the middle of it? Come to think of it, with your Rotus heads you might save a whole lot of weight that way.

The machinist put it in simple terms until it works I don’t need to know and if I did.......well you don’t want to find out the consequences are of treason!

Ha ha ha ha! You're the best, Mike. Merry Xmas.

Jim,Nik, whom-ever... I guess we're not "jacking",(not same as stroking-Nic) this thread, since we be-speakin,Bores? Actually, 907 cam do have hole,(long-one), jus' not as big as you would like, fellas. True to form, I'm considering, "alternative" material? "It's only too lite when you can't get it down"- Dorothy.

They're Ford 4.6 sleeves. Just to pitch a guess in here. Regardless of what Mike is doing, are the 4.6 sleeves flanged? The length has got to be right. Maybe a less pricey option than importing from UK.

Nic, I might be on a frayed-thread here? You're sayin Mike is using Ford 4.6L Flanged liners for a 4.02" bore? Nic, He's got duct tape over his mouth! How you gonna set the hook with that "W.A.S." ? roverman.

4.6 flanged liners wouldn't happen anyway because they're 3.7" at their largest... Maybe LS sleeves would work? I'm having trouble finding them for sale anywhere.
