Howdy all,
New to the Rover world but have a lot of previous mechanical experience from old Ford Escorts and VWs etc. but time to try something different Seriously considering buying a P6 3500 in a few months time and have some silly questions
I've been reading a lot about the Weber 4 barrel conversion and it seems the go but does it all fit comfortably under the stock bonnet with no issues? Is this a fairly simple DIY job (I have pretty decent car fixing skills, comes from owning European cars lol)?
Would be looking at putting electronic ignition in at some stage, which set-up is the best to go for?
Would probably also look at doing a manual conversion if I buy an auto. Is this a massive job or not too bad? Also, what box would you go for?
What tools do I need for a P6, BSW, Metric or SAE?
Apart from the obvious, rust, oil leaks, horrible noises, anything I should pay particular attention to on the inspection?
Appreciate any help you can give and really looking forward to owning one of these handsome cars
Cheers
Simon
