Chevy V8 Parts

Most Conversion projects require the use of exhaust manifolds that hug the engine block allowing the engine pipes to clear the chassis and brake pipes. Rams horn exhaust manifolds are perfect for most applications and make engine pipe installation easier. These manifolds are quite old and as a result are getting harder to find in good condition, subsequently making them more expensive.

Block hugger headers are a good alternative as the are similar in shape to the rams horn manifolds and as a bonus they don't crack when splashed with water as the are of tubular design, the same as extractors. For these reasons Marks 4WD Adaptors now stock header for small block Chevy engines.

Most Chevy V8 engines were fitted with automatic automatic transmissions as a result few second hand engines are fitted with flywheels. However these engines fitted with automatic transmissions usually come with a flex plate which is fitted with the starter ring gear and engine balance weight. Marks 4WD Adaptors manufacture a flywheel that bolts up behind the automatic flex plate thereby retaining the ring gear and the original engine balance. The flywheel is independently balanced and is drilled to accept the Chevy 11" clutch.

Marks 4WD Adaptors stock new 11" diaphragm type clutch kits, they suit our Chevy to Land Cruiser engine kits.

Chevy V8 engines were fitted with various water pumps, we stock the long type which is used in our mount and drive kits.
