	Pedal boxes are an arse to fit to older vauxhalls. No room at all.

	Still not a bad price

	No flex in that servo setup at all then, bet the pedal feels like shit [Edited on 28-08-2015 by Steve]

	Yeah I can see it needs moving but yeah, pedal box or at least a lever that isn't bending the servo coupling sideways.

	You can't mount them where they're supposed to be. I've always thought a pedal box would be a better alternative

	Yep. I would imagine a chevvy v8 more expensive for parts. Rover v8 is cheap
taylorboosh	posted on 27th Aug 15 at 14:29
	Is it GM? Chevy are GM
Gary	posted on 27th Aug 15 at 13:35
	3.5 is 150 ish. The rover v8 is used to keep a gm theme by a lot of the manta guys

	i was watching a nice mk1 1.9 get its chassis legs welded up the other day, not my cup of tea tbh

	200 ish i think but its a myth about them being super light and compact...

	Like 150 bhp aren't they?
taylorboosh	posted on 26th Aug 15 at 17:25
	rover v8s are poo

	thats what i thought, price is pretty high, seem to be a lot of people overpaying on ebay. One of my mates sold an old motorbike, he bought it for £3400 about 3yrs ago, it got up to £4k and we couldn't believe it, ended up at £5900 and bloke came and paid/took it away.

	Looks like a right fucking nail built buy a bodge artist!

	Its got lovely weaving on the ht leads etc :lol: Wonder how long before the insulation on them starts rubbing through.

	Was gonna post this the other day. Been watching it to see what it goes for. Wanted a v8 manta a for years. When I first fancied one you could get a standard manta for 2k but now the prices are daft!
