I have a good freind and neighbor with a V-8 BGT conversion with a Rover 3.9 in it, all done very well and professionaly including a 5 speed conversion, I have driven it and it is a really sweet ride, I am sure the original doesn't have near the go power, but still, its original, if it weren't rare and valuable, would be a great everyday driver, style, class, LBC Cachet, and speed!
