pdd144c 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Does anyone run one of these? Any ideas where I can get one from other than Longmans? Pace? Needs to be for an iron block XU. Cheers Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Pace kit Shame its alloy block only... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,666 Posted December 5, 2006 forgive me if i'm missin the obvious but what makes it specific to the alloy block XU rather than the Iron XU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 5, 2006 It should fit as all the bases of the block's are the same and the cranks not going to hit it, Will they do a SOR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Not sure really welshpug, I'll give them a ring today. Wasn't really thinking about it when I wrote the thread last night! What do you mean by A SOR Miles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Spoke to Pace and they do two different kits, one for alloy block and the other for iron. The one I need is the cheaper one which is a bonus. Really helpful blokes as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smckeown 1 Posted December 6, 2006 that is good news, but be prepared for the bad news in terms of the cost of the rest of the bits needed, speak to jon murghie, he had to spend a small fortune! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted December 6, 2006 True, did he ever sell his? They will do a good price on piping and fittings as well. Im happy to pay the money, as it will protect the internals better than anything else. Compare it to the cost of a rebuild if the engine let go in a big way and it starts to make sense.

I'm not denying the protection they give, but it is still shocking the cost of the 'complete kit'. I'm sure jon has to spend near £2k in total. That's basically the reason when I went 8v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
