the cossie t5 box is used by tvr so fitting should be no probs.

rover v8s are similar to cossie engines in that they tend to have more power in the pub than in the car

I have a phone number for a guy who sells 5.7 Chevy engines that have been in boats.

I got mine for £700, inside is like new, rated at 260hp.

If you want his number PM me.

Also has big blocks, had one for £650 a few years ago. 427ci forged crank, 4BM. Sweet!

he has had nothing but v8's fitted in various fords right back from the mk1 escort days his he is very good at building these engine and his one revs high to 9k atlest

he knows these engines inside and out what works what doesn't all from trial and error
