Anything is possible with time , money and skills. It just depends on your resources of all three.

I would have to keep it simple as I am very limited on all three so would keep it as simple as possible. Get a good local old school mechanic to have a good look around it and get his thoughts as non of us can see it.

Anyone ken what changes were made to 406 to accept V8 for 407 & whether any V8 ever fitted to pre-404 body-style?

Might Toby be persuaded to re-build a prototype, even if only to rolling body state, to identify kit-of-parts (probably mix of new mounts, cables, linkages, pedals, expendable susp/brake/axle bits etc. & similar basic s/h running-gear bits from upgrades) required for home/trade conversions that Bristol could sell or even use for factory upgrades of 401 to Blenheim spec!

I think we can exclude fitting Fighter T V10!

Anyone ken comparative drag co-efficients from 400-412 & Blenheim?
