pparaska Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Some of you may be interested on other Hybrid swaps. You may have seen this, but I thought I'd post anyway: The main page: http://britishv8.org How To resources: http://britishv8.org/swaps/ Examples of Swaps: http://britishv8.org/swaps/examples.htm A few new favorites: http://britishv8.org/swaps/bmw2002.htm http://britishv8.org/swaps/tr4achev.htm http://britishv8.org/swaps/spit350.htm Just a thought (brought on by a thread in another forum here), how about we use this thread to list other Hybrid sites? Kind of like a links page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 One of the earliest V-8 hybrid projects that was done commercially was the old Sunbeam Tiger. British sunbeam with a Ford 260 init - then a 289 - then a 302. I have a friend in Connecticut that has a sweet one with a 302 that he just recently ran at Lime Rock. It was never quite a challenge to the Cobra - another English body with a Ford V-8 - but it did enjoy a bit of notoriety for a while as it was a real sleeper.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Actually I think Allard might have been the first real factory V8 hybrid. Back in the 40s the used Caddy V8 and other V8 in minimal British bodywork. They weren't pretty but very very fast for their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 Guys, the original Scarab (not the Z-based one) and the Allards way predate the 60s Cobras and Tigers. This stuff got started in the 50s. Although if you really go back, you can probably find the first documented V8 going into a Model T!

DAW Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 The most unique "other hybrid" I've seen locally was a drag racing electric motor 1st gen RX-7. I don't remember exactly how fast it was, but surprisingly quick (for one run). DAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
