New Marcos owner/member

2002-01-26 by indigo33050

My name is Donny Lang and I aquired a 1970 V4 powered Marcos last 
October. I got one posting outto this group at that time, but days 
later had a fatal hard drive crash on my computer, losing several 
replys/contacts. I'm back on line and would like to here from other 
owners who have fitted the Rover 3.5 or similar-based engines to the 
steel-framed cars. I have aquired a '63 Buick 215 engine and a Rover 
SD1 5 spd trans for my conversion. The car is also a rhd model, so I 
am looking to convert it to left hnd drive. It appears that a spare 
lhd '72 Spitfire steering rack will interchange. I am also looking 
at using a Triumph TR8 rear axle to complete the conversion, 
essentially duplicating a TR8 driveline in the car.  The body will 
be coming off the frame for the rework of the car. Some items I am 
looking for is the enamel Marcos badge on the bonnet, and one or two 
Marcos alloy wheels. Otherwise, the car is pretty complete. 
If anyone else has done a similar conversion, or is working on a 
similar project, I'd love to hear from you. Any leads on the parts 
is appreciated. Thanks Indigo@...
