V8 123

Strange one.......

Not that much more pokey than the lump it replaced, although the torque will help.

Just imagine how much worse it will handle than a standard 280.

Ian. What do you think?

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. There is going to be a major rust issue for starters and not rust that is plainly visible. Just too much work even for me

MMMMmm

You'd think that they would have picked a minter of a 123 to spend the cash on the transfer.
