The only person I know that has had an engine built by Edney was pleased with the result but highly disappointed with the length of time it took ...

Wow! Mind you, that is a lot of bhp and that doesn't come cheap. The performance must be fantastic 0 - 60 in 7 or 8 secs? Can the back axle take it?

As far as the Peter Edney supercharged engine is concerned that price of 27000 lb. is including the vat tax which of course if you live in the USA you do not pay and it also includes a ford type 9 5 speed trams. from highly regarded hi- gear engineering which is completely re built. Michael

Peter Edney rebuilt my standard XPAG back in December 2012. That was some time ago and things may have changed since then of course.

I was and remain very pleased with the standard of work. If I recall correctly it took a little over two months but that did include the Christmas and New Year period.

I can’t comment on the supercharged XPAG, only dream!

Michael O'Halloran, there is a fellow with the same name in my local club--NEMGTR Cheasapeake Chapter in the Washington DC area.

Mike O'Halloran of my local club has a Peter Edney engine installed in his TF. Mike said the engine is a 120 HP version, and as of last July when I saw it, Mike had not yet competed the break in period. The engine and 5 speed were installed by John Tokar who has restored many T series cars at his shop called Vintage Restorations, in Union Bridge, MD.

While Mike had not yet attempted a full out acceleration run or driven the car a high speeds, he said he was fully satisfied with the performance thus far. If you would like to contact Mike, send me an email.
