Re: SP engine removal
I agree with Ian about the engine stand.
Also you need a crane/hoist with a longer jib than usual as the centre of the engine's weight is a long way back.

Re: Heater/Carb water pipes
I have Barry's silicone ones and find them very good. But.... there is often talk of missing out the inlet manifold heater all together, thus not using the tees at all.

Daimler is to become the official car manufacturer of the EU
Did you know that the Daimler is to become the official car manufacturer of the EU? Germany has always claimed to have invented motor cars; Gottieb Daimler, a German, invented the carburettor and was able to use it to convert a Gas engine to run on petrol. He soon fitted it to an old 3 wheeled inval...

Re: V8 250 Barn find
