First posting hope this works The plan i have is,i have two TR’s one with a rotten body but a V8 fitted and a DHC with a great body but a br engine. I hope you can see where this is going! Not content with fitting any old V8,i have sitting in my conservatory a 4.6 with all the good bits on it.
Had two days of work and pulled the engine, box and axle out of the DHC no real problems just the weight of that lump of slanted iron! Pulled it out from underneath as the frame has to be removed anyway. Was just going to refit new engine but whilst out may as well clean and repaint engine bay.
