which planet did that come from?

jeez  :2eek

[antnicuk]

i\'m not sure if its actually a meteor, it came from a scandanavian country who bought a load of tanks from the uk years ago and were supplied with new spare engines.  Its still in its original wooden crate that it was supplied in.

I cant remember the name of the engine but its the same as the one that a guy in the south east stuck in an SD1 rover.

[MillSpeed]

Yeah, it sounds like it, the 27 litre bit fits. The meteor was just a detuned N/A version of the Merlin, which \'only\' put out around 600hp. It was used in a few british tanks like the comet and the centurion.

[antnicuk]

thats the one,   i know its a the detuned one,  this has a couple of \'extra\'s\' which alows it rev 500 rpm more and upto 750bhp but its still max\'d out at about 3500 rpm iirc.

they are easy to get hold of, my cousin bought it from a guy who deals in them and it was 4500 euro\'s i think
