Does anyone have information on fitting a 117 V8 into a 124? Any leads on a workshop or someone who knows the ins and outs (mount legs, headers/manifolds to clear steering box) of the job would be appreciated. KJ in Oz

Try driving 1000 miles with a 62mph limit. Brisbane to Townsville and most of Australia has 62 mph (100 kmph) limit, 110 kmph on some stretches. Fixed cameras and mobile/stationery camera all over the place. Try that for boredom. KJ
