I originally fit a 2.0 Ecotec engine fitted with throttle bodies from an Omega a few years ago.
Rob now wants more power. A 5.0 V8 and auto ‘box was chosen, the engine is fitted with ali heads and a few goodies inside all adding up to around 340 BHP. A brand new, freshly imported C4 gearbox is bolted onto the back. Both were supplied by British American Engines.
A narrowed Ford axle will be fitted by way of a 4 bar link setup and a panard rod.
As it was, with the ecotec fitted
Plenty of metal removed to make mounting easier
New V8 mock up
New tunnel being fabricated
Firewall in place, not finished yet though
