I have a knock on number 4 big end. Stripped it out and ready to go to the machine shop. I am told it can have up to 10mm slack before it's a big problem.

You had me worried for a bit , Tony !! Incidentally, the spiel about the engine has a glaring inaccuracy in that the swept colume is 1810 liters per cylinder , so the 14 cylinder engine's capacity is 25,340 litres

Would it fit in my E Type?

I think you'd need to uprate the torsion bars

With a fuel consumption of 1660gal/hr it would empty the fuel tank in 30secs so careful journey planning required.

Yep, and with the extra weight at the front, I might need to fit power steering
