A UK company making waves in the V8 engine market is Hednesford-based Billy’s Speed Shop, named after the proprietor’s young son (which I think is a lovely gesture) and they can supply pretty much whatever you need of an American V8 nature and more besides.
GM LT1 V8
Crate engines are a speciality with GM LT, LS and Chevy iron blocks, with Ford well-represented, too – Coyote, Aluminator, Godzilla, iron small blocks and big block bruisers. In addition, they supply the full range of four-cylinder and V6 EcoBoost engines, too.
Billy’s Speed Shop also represent the well-known US engine builder BluePrint Engines, in the UK while they act as official UK Holley distributor, which means the legendary American company’s many sub-brands.
Ford Coyote Aluminator
So, if you have or are building a Cobra replica, GT40 replica, Ultima or anything else that is powered by an American V8 I’d give Billy’s Spped Shop a shout or visit their brilliant website (I spent 90 minutes on it the other morning (when I should have been working. Let’s put it down to research, eh?!) or you can call them on 01543 226 339 or visit www.billyspeedshop.com ENDS.
