Dean's life long dream is to built a hot rod from scratch. He's bought a 1970 Rover 3500 V8 engine, probably from a P6, along with a Borg-Warner model 35 auto gearbox. He needs this to be able to layout the chassis mounts and spacing.
I'll be helping out, mainly with the electrics. Today, I made up the wiring for the starter motor and we tried it out.
The good news is that the engine is not seized and by the feel of the airflow out of the spark plug holes, it appears to have some compression in all of the cylinders.
I'll add more electrics to the suitcase to enable testing as the build progresses.
