Gents. How good was that. Very interesting to see how easily adapted the Shadow was. The hydraulics was most surprising. I have to admit, that is an amazing looking car. Would love that in my garage. I would like to know what, if anything, they did to the engine. | ||

Gents. Here is one from Aus. This is the first Silver Shadow brought to Australia in 1965 for demo and shoe purposes for Kellow Faulkner in Melbourne in 1965. SRH1011   Here it is now. A lot of people don't like what has happened to this car. But the interior is mint, and I'm in 2 minds. I guess its good that it has survived and not wrecked or left to rott somewhere. The only thing I would like to ask the owner, is why this number 1 car into Australia, or did it just happen this way and he wasn't to aware of its significance? http://www.streetmachine.com.au/events/summernats/1601/video-slammed-rolls-royce-at-summernats-29/ | ||

Hi Patrick I purchased SRH1011 with the GM engine already fitted in around 2006. | ||

I asked a few question about this car in another post last year some time. Im not a fan of overall lowerering/whhels look of the car - but taste is subjective. To each his own. Having said that, I have stolen a couple of ideas from this car for my interior. | ||

Ben Crombie, If you have been reading posts here, you may have come across my post on my car that I bought for only $2500 USD. Since your car has had an engine swap, they also had to do a replumbing of the brakes. I see no master cylinder in the engine bay. https://d3lp4xedbqa8a5.cloudfront.net/s3/digital-cougar-assets/motor-media/3757944/rolls-royce-silver-shadow-engine-bay.jpg I assume the master cylinder in under the car, I don't see it in the trunk as well. https://d3lp4xedbqa8a5.cloudfront.net/s3/digital-cougar-assets/motor-media/3757939/rolls-royce-silver-shadow-boot.jpg I had to put another carb on mine an Edellbrock 1405 and had to make the adapter from the manifold to the carb. Like you said “I had no one I could ask!” there just is no information out there on modifying a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, that is what lead me here. And have been given lots of help. (It would be nice if you could start a post and document your changes and parts used and what not in that post for future modifiers.) It seems most do as your car has with the BA Falcon brakes, they just trash the brake system and go with a corvette or in your case the BA Falcon brakes. I went another direction to try to keep as much of the original parts as possible with minor alterations. You can find my experiences in these three posts. http://au.rrforums.net/forum/messages/17001/35273.html?1560318898 http://au.rrforums.net/forum/messages/17001/35239.html?1558947424 http://au.rrforums.net/forum/messages/17001/35587.html?1560318680 I would love to make a sleeper as shown here, maybe another day another car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT4R3hyB1oM |
