Well, its over. Sorry I didn't get see this post earlier. If the enfine was in decent shape it would have been one of the better choices. The 3.5l Rover alloy is what the factory used in its V8 cars. It's a nice light little engine. The 3.5 and 3.9 liter versions from Land Rovers are good candidates also.

This is the engine used in the TR8 also. The tranny would have had to go. Its a dog I hear.

The Rover V8 is really popular here in the UK, and a lot of the kit cars and cobra replicas use it.

Is a specialist dealing with high-performance components for the engine.

The 3.5L with EFI and a little head and cam "massaging" would be a very nice addition...
