The 289 Register

Is MotorTrend a magazine? I thought it was a subsciption channel. I have a sub, at around $3.99 a month and there are some excellent TV programmes on there. RoadKill, Hot Rod Garage, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, faster with Finnegan etc. All excellent. Has deffinately kept me sane during lockdown

I have one in Northumberland you can have if you collect. Its new and uncut

There is an off the shelf speedo cable that fits the T10/T5/Tremec TKO gearbox (you will of course need the toothed driver) and hooks up to a US speedometer (Stewart warner etc),it is the perfect length and it's only £30.

These leave a gap when fitted between the seal and the cast sump, which has to be filled with sealer. I have one of these, and it's tricky to get a good fit, always leaving the ...

I have slip joints on mine, with springs to hold the pipes to the down pipes, rather than clamps. This allows a little movement and expansion. Although I'm yet to get any serious use out of the car (cheers DVLA) i did the same on my series Land Rover V8 and thats worked out fine over the years
