Have you considered the Leyland 4.4 V8?
Just make up some 19mm spacers for the efi manifold and enjoy an extra 900cc

Yes the early models were BW35s
Later ones were trimatics... ( would like one to run in my P76)

When the P76 first came out I thought they were huge and ugly. Now I rather like the look of them. Following your build thread with interest.
I agree but If done right they can look quite good
Taking a bit of inspriration from this car

Yes it is aspen greeen. At some point in its life it was repainted in a slightly lighter shade.
As a result of acquiring the car ive ended up joining the NZ P76 club, they have given me a full history of the car dating back to the late 80's.
Its been through a number of owners in its time but at some stage it languished in the elements of wellington for about 10 years until the people I bought it from brought it down south. And I bought it from them .
Random thing is though given its history its only done 74000 ks from new.

Hi Guys , Bought another project this time its in the form of a rusty leyland.
So almost a year ago I came across a this for sale on FB marketplace ive always been intrigued by the p76 and secretly kinda wanted on , however at the time I didnt have the money they were asking, so I left it .
Over the following 3 months I noticed that the sellers had continually dropped the price , once it came up for 2k I contacted them, arranged to have a look.
What I was greeted with was an exceptionally rusty car but it wasnt too far gone and it was 98% complete.

Love what you've done with the ignition system, I'm in a similar position as my Holden V8 Hei distributor module has started to pack up. What you've done has given me something to think about.
Would you be able to show a diagram on how youve wired it in? no pressure!

call Me crazy but Ive always lusted after an Aussie Mini Clubman GT ( the rarest of them all)
Basically A MKI Cooper S with a clubman Nose and fancy Door handles!

The old pack the oil pump with grease (or better still Vaseline according to @Threeonthetree ) has never failed me. I also have an old capillary tube type oil pressure gauge to make sure all is well.Easily screwed int the sender hole and doesn't care about old wiring.
I second this! I've only ever used Vaseline , works every time!

Thank you I'll look into it !
