If its a RV8 the oil pump is on the side of the engine - repacking is easy, but messy.
I am guessing its a different block, in which case I cant comment other than my FE stood for 5 years, and I...

so is it SORNED? If not, that a big back tax bill as well.

...and repack the silencer with acoustifil - its great stuff.

Great work.
Just check the top edge of the printed filler cap piece for radius requirements.

I fitted Galaxy 15 x 235s all round - excellent value and a good alternative to Avons.
When time/budget allowed me to upgrade, I used a pair of the 235s on the front and sold the surplus 2 tyres, as...

I used a large self-tapper into a piece of ali angle from B&G top and bottom so that can be removeable. I drilled some holes in the vertical surface of the ali brackets and then bonded them in as a...

If you want to do that (I did, budget and time prevented anything else) you will need to fit V-rated tyres all round.

AFAIK you just need to prove the age of the block, and state the bhp - the latter is not tested but it needs to look plausible.
Your other points on speedo and tyres - all good.

I would call Pilgrim so you have the right numbers - the SBC is significantly heavier than a RV8.

Have you got anywhere in mind for paint?

Nice work Paul, looks good.

Your kind words, as always, appreciated :-P

If you mean the regulator for the charging system, then on top of footwell - see post #7 here:...

I was offering my authenticity comments for anyone with a wallet large enough wishing to bid - caveat emptor etc.

I wanted to fit a set of ITBs, they look great, or a Holley EFI, but heck, the...

Seen driving down Mill Drive a couple of times - sounded/looked great.

Correct - but it is nonetheless a lovely piece of engineering. :)

....exactly my thoughts!

Exacty right.
Sadly plenty of Covidiots out there dying ;) to get trollied/shagged that could yet mess it all up. Fingers crossed.

Some pedant points for pursists:

No FIA suitcase bulge behind the seats.
Rear firewall should be covered in vynil.
Fuel pumps are modern items.
Battery located behind the seats on original...

whatever you choose will be tight.
i can just about bend the wires round so they don't touch the ede' heads - seems OK.

Just my tuppence worth....
i also think you need to think about battery...

Looking good.
Personally I wouldn't bother bolting it to the rear of the cockpit. It'll jam in anyway once you add the trim in that area, and it'll just be faff when you come to want to remove it....

Yes they did, and it was located on the firewall above the drivers footbox.

try one of these:
