Engine wise could you now get oen directly from a Mustang or were they changed a lot for the MG Rover units?

I know Rimmers have a V8 engine in stock but it aint cheap.

Wonder if they are in fact the stuff up assemblies that have been split up.

Hope above info is fruitful for someone.
I nearly bought 2 or 3 Stuff ups but another project took all the space in my garage

Jules is correct having spoken with the gentleman selling these bits, there is a link with Macclesfield, and he said he had access to that stock, but I guess when that stock is all sold, the bits will be hard to find and expensive.

Apparently a KIT CAR company bought 5 Assemblies but there were still 15 or so left back in March 09.

Can you imagine a 4.6 Mustang lump in a kit car

What is a 'stuff up'?

Subframe with engine and most of the other parts, suspension, brakes, rollbar etc. Just as it would come to the car on a production line

Jules · 6th February 2010, 07:55
