Perkins - Vs - V8

Aug 31, 2004 3 Replies

Just swapped a 3.8ltr straight four smoker in my old 2 door RR for a rumbling, neck snapping 3.9i V8. Starts on the key and WHAT a difference - **** me does it go now!



Hopefully, when I try a steep hill ascent, instead of the Perkins maxing at about 2k and then dieing I'm now going to fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Shame about the forthcoming fuel bills........


I despair that anyone would even consider fitting a Perkins industrial engine into a motor car.

Careful with the knee jerking at the gas pump ;-)
