Aye, Mat PM'd me earlier and ive sent him a reply... i think

And there's nothing id want more than my williams back, but i think if i rang the lad up who bought it the phone call would go something like this:

Me: Hello there, im sorry to bother u im the guy who sold u the williams

Him: Oh yea, its a dream of a car! i love it!!

Me: Well... erm... i was just wondering if u wanted to sell it?

Him: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........ NO!

why dont ya buy martins for 1/ th price of your old un...n spend the difffrence mintin it

[BigBoreBri]

Well the biggest problem is storage...

I have no problem keeping an engine at work to tinker with, but if im going to keep a whole car at home the parents will not be immpressed!

Also thats 8 months of looking at a car i cant legally drive... :(

lol..but if it has no engine in it cos the engines at work while u mess with it.....u know u cant drive it anyway lol......

the block needs machined to accept the larger webs...the bearing are is the same

[KingStromba]

Sounds like it will be easier to drop a 2ltr in there.

[BigBoreBri]

Very true... put a bid in on that williams engine but paul @ infinicar beat me to it!

Thats what ya get for going down the pub for a few eh... lol


Stan, can u confirm the bearing shell seats are the same diameter on the F7P / F7R??

Thing is i been scouting through "dialogys" at work today and its the same cranks used in the F7R and F8Q Diesel engine, although the bearings for each engine are different part numbers; the bearings for the F8Q and F7P look to be the same...

So im assuming the F7P bearings/block could be used on a F7R/F8Q Crank...?

P.S from what ive found the standard internal diameter of the crank bearings are 54.8...

Also, although this is all just what ive found through the "dialogys" cd, the crank used on the megan F4R engine look to be the same as the F7R too!
