The Jensen Owners' Club

Its been a while since I posted my twin turbo 123/4125 on here, the time has come to give the engine bay a tidy up and the engine/transmission an upgrade. I have decided to remove the twin turbo setup mainly due to the car now being registered as an historic vehicle and going back to a 440 stroked to 500ci this will be backed up with a GM 4l65 highly modified transmission. The engine will be converted to fuel injection and the distributor replaced with 8 direct fire coils I will keep you up to date with progress I have attached some photos

what do you think to the added girdle ??? easy fit etc etc,

Yes the girdle and main caps came in a kit, block had to be tunnel bored and then the caps and pan rails machined flat but other than that bolted straight in

Hi Daniel,
Is that a BCR girdle, the 1/2” thick one? Looks like it may be. Do you anticipate any pan clearance problems with the Interceptor crossmember as I know it’s a bit tight even without a girdle fitted!
Cheers,
Eric.

Gday, the gridle would have fitted just with no modifications, I decided to notch the front cross member so I could easily remove the sump if need be without having to raise the engine. The girdle is a BCR one with their billet main caps and rear seal housing, very well machine was very happy with the quality

The girdle looks to be better design than the Hughes one I was looking at. Any chance of a picture or two of the notched crossmember Daniel?

Yes no problem at all I will take some tonight for you

Here are a couple of links to the engine build with the girdle

"This looks expensive husband".. if it makes you happy Daniel that should make her happy so therefore it is so cheap tell her...

Some more progress

Hi Daniel

Great set up. Have you changed the diff and brakes?

Matt
