SimonJ - 05 Sep 2004 15:04 GMT I have heard of conversions done to V8s to put turbos on them, does anyone know any supplier?

I seem to remember it went for more than it was worth though, like so many items on ebay! I missed out on a set of dcoe webber manifolds not long back also, as they went above what I was prepared to pay.

I still have two janspeed ones, bearing shot on one and some bits of linkage and manifolding missing, may be enough to duplicate a full set from. never used it, inherited it from a mate emigrating. To my mind it defeats the object of having a big lazy engine.

It's my "other" work that's sending me there, and I've got to go - something about potentially losing a lot of pension money if I don't!

You're pension's with Equitable Life and you work for a bailiff and are going to the Blue Leany to kneecap their chief exec?
