Rover V8

[robo]

I am not knocking the toyota installation and the weights quoted came from the toyota forum, yours might be more by the time you fit the clutch and all the rest of the associate bits that goes with it . Its just that if a rover is what you have go for it. i have had the fortune or misfortune of being in a stock efi engined rover powered westie and believe me when driven in anger they are a serious piece of kit.The upside of the rover is cost, they are every where for lesss than the price of a weeks groceries and tune for peanuts.One of our customers had a 3.9 r/r with a noisy cam and went to real steel to get the gear to sort it, while there one of the guys talked him into a stage oneish cam a new oil pump and friggable fuel pressure reg. We shoved it all together for him and the difference was unreal. I dont think he had spent £300 and now for that reason i like the rover. It might be that I am old and stupid.

Bob do you have any pictures of your steering setup ? I was thinking of cutting up the exhaust manifold and rewelding so it exits at the top but if I can reroute the steering I might get away with the stock manifold. I havn't realy worried about the sump level at the moment as i have a deep Range rover sump but there are shallower obne availalbe which are used on the westfield setups.
