2.8i Into S7 Will Go!

[Guest Bill Watts]

I have an elderly S7 ('83 build) which has a 2.8litre injection engine from a Ganada fitted. The conversion had been done before I obtained the car and was mechanically pasable but not very nice to look at. Anyway The fuel pump is shot, by having been mounted in the engine compartment above the level of the fule tank, and is a Bosch unit with a model number 0 580 254 856. Does anyone out there know a) how may litres a minute this pump delivers, at what pressure it delivers, c) where I can get one or an equivalent?

 

Current situation: New dash under fabrication with new electronic speedo as the rear axle is Cortina and the engine and gearbox are Granada, so the speedo drive ratios are totally donald ducked.

 

The exhausts were run under the car giving a ground clearance of approximately 1", so I am currently in the process of fabricating external exhausts. Got a couple of back boxes for an MGB GT which look about right.

 

Once that is all complete will be respraying and hopefully will be able to drive it before the sunny weather goes away!
