Theres a specific feeling when popup headlights are done right, unlike the F40 where they knida look bad both yp or down, these look good when they are up or down.

Nice to see the new edition, you are right, a lot of money must have been spent changing this car over to a TR8, really surprised at how good it looked so must have been stored well. Also seeing the engine turn over, it looked stable as anything, so I reckon money must have been spent on that too. Must admit I'd stick SU's on it now. Can't wait for the prototype TR8 getting sprayed & built, now that is one car I'd love to own.

It’s funny how everyone says the TR7 should have had the Rover V8 from the start, but nobody rated that engine when it used to get transplanted into Stags to replace the Triumph V8….

@ChrisFEJackson 2 күн бұрын

The TR7 engine bay was designed to be able to take the V8 engine with the TR8 to be mainly supplied to the USA market. TVR used this engine too in their 350i's. It's all too common knowledge now why the 7 & 8's stopped when they did. I think these cars should be worth more than they are today, but mud really sticks doesn't it, even after nearly 50 years!!

When I owned a TR7 in the 1990s, that front panel was notorious for rot!

We’ve been going for years to a town called Montecarlo near Lucca in Tuscany, Italy… there was a black TR7 there we used to see a lot. It’s great that the weird US emissions TR7 engine has been refreshed and is going abroad to keep another 7 running….

So happy to hear you say about how good the TR7 engine was, I tell people the same, if you look after them (regular oil changes and a good flush) they will easily still perform past 100K. My Tr has done 77K and the car runs and drives superbly! Saab used the same block in their turbo version in the early 90's although the engine was 180 degrees different in the car to the 7's!

@fredsmith3001 Ай бұрын

Looks amazing! Curious why you painted the valve covers and intake plenum black instead of the factory grey color? Also, what did Autosparks charge to wrap your wiring harness? I have one that could certainly used a refresh.

@chelsiebrookes2470 Ай бұрын

As this was the prototype the plenum intake manifold and rocker covers were actually black not grey like the production cars if you watch our latest video of the complete build you will see when we stripped the engine down there are some shots of underneath the plenum which shows it in black and this engine had never been apart and as for the wiring harness it was rebraided as original with cotton brading as for the price I can’t tell you that as we came to an arrangement on the price for being able to film and put them on this channel

What do you mean “balancing the pistons” ? You mean evening out the weights of the assemblies by removing excess material ? You implied that “bob weights” compensate for different weights across the piston assemblies ?

Interesting on the TR8 how some things like the crank were not worn but the oil pump was... obviously the Rover V8 was an old technology engine even in the late 70s and there are many features like the camshaft that were never very durable even in its later years... Worrying how rusty the callipers and even the starter motor can get just from sitting for years, but they all look great now !

@BrianRidley-x2o 3 ай бұрын

The water jacket (around minute 8) is nothing to do with the EGR system on export models, it is to heat the air entering the plenum to offset cooling effect of changes in pressure. Do not blank off!! There are also a few other factory TR8 fixed heads with efi that never left these shores (as well as several dropheads).
