I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs + injection and tank clean and rustfree

What gearbox are you running here? Is it a 3500S four-speed or the LT77 five-speed? I believe you can also fit the Borg Warner/Tremec T5, which would be a great improvement. I even heard of a guy putting an Aston Martin DB7 Tremec six-speed to his 3500S...

this things gorgeous. im wondering if youve done anything to the front brakes? Ive heard that alot of hot rod builders use the front discs from a leyland p-76, cos theyre real thick, and ventilated.

poorley syncro on second?
LT77 5 speed Rover box with D suffix bearings and 0.79:1 fifth gear. I have considered the Tremec and if this one dies then I will probably follow that route. The idea of six gears is compelling!

The front brakes are now BMW E30 ventilated discs (drilled to fit Triumph hubs), and Mazda RX7 (Mk1) aluminium four pot calipers with Mazda pads, and a BMW E28 servo.
The rear suspension is a modified BMW E30 sub-frame with standard discs and pads, bespoke variable rate springs, Koni's, and a BMW limited-slip differential (3.64:1 ratio).
I've recently fitted a 5.0 litre Rover block using the performance heads and carb, etc from the old set-up.

No, just the usual Rover box! Renowned for slow changes!
