AC 428 engine rebuild
« on: June 20, 2014, 10:48:26 »
The gearbox on my 428 has failed. The cast iron manifolds are cracked.The engine is full of sludge.
   
   It's time for a rebuild. I'm not looking for huge upgrades just a good reliable build for typical street use.
   
   I've been recommended to Peter Knight who I am sure is among the best but perhaps too specialist for my needs.
   Also given the name of Adrian Caroll of AC Motors in the West Midlands.
   
   Any advice/recommendations would be welcome.
   
   Cliff.

Cliff,
   
   You'll get a better response in the 428 Frua section.
   
   For what it's worth, I've always used Mathwall (Mark Mathieson).

Thanks. I listed here as well as you Cobra boys have a few more cars built than our register!
   
   And probably play with your engines more as well[:)]
