Here is my baby just finished after 3 years graft running a brand new 4.6 v8 out of range rover p38 on mega squirt. Rolling roaded at with 225 bhp and 276 ftlb at wheels. Was tempted to use a v8 in my roadster as I've cut my teeth on them but would have to be a lower spec one as I fear to much power could twist the frame.

Welcome to the forum Sebby :)

If you upgrade the chassis tubes to 2mm wall thickness, the chassis will be more than capable of handling the power of a V8 ;)

I believe the standard chassis has been designed to handle that sort of power anyways :)

Welcome to the forum, Sebby! The facebook link does not work. Is the photo public?

This link is public. Does anybody know what the standard chassis is designed to handle

The chassis will need more bracing around the engine bay to cope with a V8 and going up to 14swg for major tubes would be a good idea. A good trick is to use offcuts of rhs in the corners where all tubes meet on the floor section...if that makes sense?
