    Hello from here,
    I will try to present my project I am working since 3 years. May be it will interested some guys here. Sorry if my english is not always correct as I am french native speaking (Belgium).

    The idea was to built an very nasty supercharged aluminium block.
    After many disappointements with Rover 4.0/4.6 X-bolted blocks and found the 3.5 (215) too small I finally tried something with an australian derived 4.4 P76 engine but heavily modified.

    Hi not sure if you will get this but where did you get those big bore cast V8 exhaust manifolds for your rebuild in 2008? How did it go? How did you get the extra fuel to the engine, seperate ecu? thanks John
