V8 re-build

hingmy:
I agree  - for simplicity a pair of SU carbs set up properley take a lot of beating (except for economy).
BTW a 3.9 cam adjusts the timing of the valve opening so tweaking the timing is called for. It will lower where peak torque comes in quite drastically

Lets start from the beginning again I have two disco's.One the wife's shopping trolly (a G-WAC) both V8s. Shopping trolly does not need to be a racing machine but will need power/torque as its used for towing.Second disco is for play which will get wet . So I thought that play would have 3.5 with 3.9 cam su carbs (well set up) and every thing that could be water proofed, proofed with all the off road bits. And the G-WAC fitted with injection, gas (twin under sill tanks) and up-rated rear springs, and the gear boxes on both striped and fitted with new shaft and cross drilled cog to get rid of the clonk on take up,I have for the play disco a new distributor with a steel cover and screw in HT leads (if I can get the leads) twentyfive pounds off of e-bay :D

DISCO-CHRIS:
