thanks!

from my limited knowledge of rover v8s, its there head design that lets them down most.

google Wildcat engines in the uk. i bet there massive dollars/pounds though.

some one here in another thread said about a company in the USA bringing out a new performance head on par with wildcats for less dollars... it is because the buick engine is the base for the rover


i would think that getting the engine to its best potential before forced induction would be they way to go.

WHAT a 2 tonne 4wd doing 11's.... not with a Rover V8 it wont...
from my knowledge on drag racing it takes about 800hp to get a 1.4tonne car to pull a 11's

So his Rover V8, blown can produce over 1000hp....

maybe its running 11's over the 8th... then i might belive it...

That Rover he is talking about was an SD1 i think not a 4wd.And for a 1.4 ton car to do 11s only needs about 400-450hp to do 11s.Just look at all those little jap nissans and wrx cars.

Still think he is dreaming

Any Eaton 90 blown rover v8's out there in 2022? LS swaps are certainly getting popular in Disco's here in the states. I have two 4.0 rover V8's though.. and zero LS engines. It would be nice to fit a junk yard eaton to my rover 4.0 in my D1.

I know of a supercharged P38 Range Rover 4.6 getting around. If my memory serves, it’s an Eaton M90. I’m not sure if he’s on the forum. Happy to contact him if you’re looking for information.

Cheers
