What I need to know is are all rover V8 blocks the same castings, can you swap an EFI with ECU for carbs and a dizzy and vice versa? I'm looking at running it on LPG as I can't see fuel prices dropping any time soon.
Besides as I can't afford the money or parking space for a fake snake I might as well have a nice sound to my daily driver.
You must be listening to the music in you head phil ,V8 rover and daily driver dont belong in the same sentence. Gas conversion or not that will be one juicy beast to run. Thats coming from a v8 fanatic, I reckon with fuel prices the way they are the v8 is for pleasure miles only and if its to be a daily driver there is only one choice and thats diesel. Might pay to upgrade to a compliant lez engine. 2002 or newer.
