Your mate looks pretty proud of himself anyway.

Looks like a 2.5L V8 similar to the Daimlers that the old boyts love in drag racing.

Fooking hell JB that sounds mental!!!

It really doesn't come across as loud on the video as it was in the workshop, people from the units next door and over the road all ran over to see what the noise was!

I'll try and get some pics of the jensen and the other stuff he has down there, he has 4 brand new continental GT engines if anyone wants to buy one..

I can imagine mate, open headers tend to be quite noisy lol

The Camaro shakes the glass in the Toyota dealership down the road, can't imagine they're overly impressed when he runs it up LOL

Pics of the Jensen would be cool, my brother is after one if its for sale ?

lol, Stuart loves a good V8 and we had been waiting a long time to hear this thing running so he was enjoying every second of it.

We were all crying heavily by the time Karl had finished setting it up that day, poor old Nick in the drivers seat got it the worst I think
