Blackbird installation info

I am going to fit a blackbird engine in to my Westfield se, I have brought a v8 bonnet, any info/tech advise would be great, if the engine bay requires extra braces, the correct angle of the engine, just thought that it may save some mistakes.

many thanks

Adrian

You main area of concern is the oil system, Blackbirds need more tlc than others when installed in a car.

some would say minimum dry sump, for hard road and light track use i would suggest minimum baffle plate backed up by a accusump.

as for installation grab a peak under the bonnet of any 7, all installs are much the same.
