I have heard of conversions done to V8s to put turbos on them, does anyone
know any supplier?

Janspeed used to do kits but I don't think they do any more - still pop up
from time to time second hand.

Same for Turbotechnics.

I still have two janspeed ones, bearing shot on one and some bits of
linkage and manifolding missing, may be enough to duplicate a full set
from. never used it, inherited it from a mate emigrating. To my mind
it defeats the object of having a big lazy engine.

Yeah, I was watching that as well, Austin. I seem to remember it went for
more than it was worth though, like so many items on ebay! I missed out on a
set of dcoe webber manifolds not long back also, as they went above what I
was prepared to pay.

Will await photo. Am away South (Aylesbury) on business for 3 weeks as of
this Saturday morning coming, so pickup may be an option depending on where
you are?

Hahaha, I wish! I'd much rather be doing V8 rebuilds than what I'm going to
do. It's my "other" work that's sending me there, and I've got to go -
something about potentially losing a lot of pension money if I don't!

You're pension's with Equitable Life and you work for a bailiff and are
going to the Blue Leany to kneecap their chief exec?

The jpegs are still full sized so you will have to ask for them.

email address valid if you're not on a blacklist or any address on the
sub domain should get here.

works here, provided you reassemble it and put the /turbo.html bit on the
end, otherwise I got a "forbidden".
