There’s is a guy on FB selling a TVR with a 4.7 Maserati V8 in it. That must shift.

Oh yes it does.

that's a lovely looking/sounding machine and the lump looks right at home there, how easy/hard was the install

or yet another version.....closer to home...as far as the car goes...

Why is it 21 hours? Did it breakdown?

Thank you.
It depends what's hard or not for you. Definitely the hardest thing was to mate the 6 speed manual transmission to that engine.

Can’t see the point; maybe slower and not much in the reliability.

Having said that it sounds fantastic, as Maser V8s do.
