Hi guys, picked up working on my Chevy V8 HB installation. Have bought a Getrag 265 5 speed box (which has a Chevy 1 1/8" 10 spline input shaft) to fit to the engine, but does any one have a photograph of the exhaust manifiolds fitted to SA V8s, were they cast Chevy ones or steel headers?

If anyone is considering a similar conversion to their HB/HC, give me a shout....

Rover V8s are nice, but for out and out power, if you want to wheel spin just using the accelerator pedal, 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, the SBC wins every time...

Another V8 conversion....

Reminds me of the sound of the car in the film CHRISTINE.
