V8 Bits
Julian B - 26/11/03 at 05:19 PM

Hello All

I’m embarking on the rebuild of a 3.5 rover V8. I will need to obtain a complete engine gasket set and a piper cam. At a later stage i will also need a Holley carb. Can any one suggest where the cheapest place to obtain these parts is?

Cheers

I used Abbey Sportcars. Contact Paul Blackman on 01953 607274, or look at www.v8tuner.co.uk.
I found Paul very helpful and prices weren't too bad either. Some good offers too.

Julian,

Read the RPI blurb on the Weber 500, before parting with cash for a Holley!

I think we've looked at RPI and Rimmer Bros., and rimmer were substantially cheaper for parts.. dunno about anyone else.

Do all sort of V8 stuff too although they don't really mention the Rover V8 on the site they do sell parts for it. They gave me quite a good price on a Weber 500 kit (over £100 less than RPI).
