Might be a bit biased here as the owner of overfinch is a good friend, but i have been in  many of the "finches" ranging from the 500,570's an even the latest 6 ltr ones and i can honestly say they are stormers of an engine- all of them.  i wouldnt hestitate to snap one up (Obviously if it has been looked after). the cars are superb as well.


Enjoy it

Megasquirt is the way to go for Rover V8. (Not dont it myself, but there's alot of frodaer doing it now) But i was wondering if the Chevy V8 have the same inherant problem?

The Dizzy cap on the Chevy 5's is at the back of the Engine (I think) Which can help.

Funny how the 4.0Ltr lumps on the Jeeps are good in Water.
