Listers,
I have a 3.5 V8 from an SD1 in my TR7 which I plan to rebuild next winter. I
intend to fit
a fast road cam, Vitesse valves and give the internals a good polish etc but I
am unsure
which way to go with the induction. It currently runs very well on the original
Strombergs
and I have a Holley waiting in the wings but no manifold.
I have just been to the SD1 Spares Day at Billing and found a single plenum
injection
system for #100. A used manifold for the Holley is likely to cost around #120
so should I:
Stick with the Strombergs and sell the Holley?
Machine the standard manifold to take the Holley?
Buy a decent manifold for the Holley?
Junk the carbs and go injected?
I know the twin plenum systems are best of all but they are too pricey; the
engine needs a
rebuild anyway but it's nearly fast enough for me as it is! :-)
