The plan for my old Car is looking more & more likely that it'll be broken for Parts,  the 3 main components of which are that EDGE is tentatively interested in using the shell as a Track Car (providing we can agree a reasonable price), Jamie is keen on having the Gearbox & Rafe is having the seats off me this coming weekend.
There are a few parts on the car that I'll be swaping over to my new car, (Light lenses, a few switches and a couple of other bits) which i'll be doing tomorrow.

Alternatively a complete engine rebuild has already been ruled out on the grounds of time & cost, the only thing thats pulling me away from breaking it for parts is the auction on ebay of a reconditioned 305 Longblock which could be dropped into the car & all the ancilliaries bolted to it fairly easily. but I really don't know if I've got the time or space to do this.

Ahh right so it taxed and insured just not tested then...hmm whens that stopped people


In my case, not at all.

Flaunted it to show at the weekend, sans MOT.

Getting it sorted this week though. Purely an oversight though. Will pay more attention to dates in future.

Sorry to hear yours might be for the breakers mate. Does this mean we won't be sticking my interior into yours?

At least you know plenty of other third gen owners to peddle the parts to I suppose!

It might be on the limits of a 400ci think that box is rated to about 340hp

My engine is currently only pumping out 300 (estimated), and it's likely to be a while before I get any significant upgrades on it.

My concern wouldn't be the HP, but the torque, and I'm not sure where I can find that info.

That said, I have read that these boxes were standard equipment behind some big block motors, so it probably isn't an issue.

Optional Gear Ratio: (none)

Bummer.

Looks like a no-go I'm afraid.  Not without some work on it.

Yeah, they did look good, will have to investigate more thoroughly when the time comes.

Well today was a success, Rafe has his new Leather Seats installed and to say he was chuffed that the 4th Gen Power Seat Track gave him another 1.5" of Leg room was a mild understatement!
Every Little helps !

We also discovered that he's not too far off being able to drive the car from the rear seats!!

The extra weight over the rear axle would be like having traction control

Don't do it, Mate - That's just your emotional connection with the car pulling your strings . . . If you spend more money you WILL NOT see it back . . . . And you know you can't keep it.
