In all my searching of the UK, I have found only 2 viable V8s
PT, with 3mths warranty. at £700
ABH, but someone has already taken both heads off, and sold one. So, nearly worthless, given the cost of the gaskets, head bolts and replacement head.
The ABZ option will come later, when time allows.
I have, in this process found 2 cars languishing.
One is nearly complete- Gold. minus one head- partially dismantled engine, but otherwise complete. And supposedly in working order. But the state of the car prior to the head being removed is unclear.
The other car is a donor car, partially stripped, due to rear body damage. Several components, including the engine, have already been removed.
If it were possible, I would be straight over to germany to source an engine, but it's just not practical right now.
If I had the space, both these other cars would be in my possession now.
Timing!
