Chevy · Senior (As in old Bastard) Member

This could be of help,I`d bid up to £350 n then part it out.

I wonder if Scoot has seen that?? He's got a Mark1, quite a rare car but then they say that.

I think it`s about £450 & is complete ready to run.........Do you want me to find out ?

There is a Holbay rebuilt advertised in the Humber Club mag for £500 collect from Newcastle.
Spec says bored 60thou,1725rods n crank with 1500 flat top pistons giving 1800 cc.Uprated valve springs & c/w tube ex manifold.......

mmmmmmmmmmmmm,I reckon I`d be looking at period tuning on this car,although the V6 is alloy n theefore it`s weight may equal a cast 4 pot you"ll still meet bulkhead & trans tunnel issues

giggles · Guru

Agreed with Chevy, period tuning is kool. But what do I know?

Holbay lump is very quick and pretty much a bolt in job, I did put a Pinto in a mark one once, that was quite good, it was mated to the overdrive box which was a bit of a trial but I got there in the end, lovely old thing, cheers Neil

The Holbay thats already in there is great, lots of tuning goodies, sounds good, BUT it could do with a new carb, sort the carb out and you'll sort out the economy and hopefully the reliability. It will work out a lot cheaper than fitting a new engine.

rover v8 all the way.it may take awhile to get it to fit but thats what a mig welders for lol. i had to cut out my floor and bulk head to get my v8 and box to fit the way i wanted it.but it is worth it,just make sure you measure up correcty before you start the cutter up lol.
