Hi there, anyone with any knowledge of running these V8 TR8's?

I am looking at one locally, it is running the Holley 390 carb not SU's
I know they have alloy heads so corrosion can be a problem
Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

TR8 engines are all-alloy, unlike a Stag.

Watch the final epilogue of the Grand Tour with the Triumph Stag. 
Original engine, out performed the others. A crime the way they destroy
