Thread: New Design Rover Heads Coming

The patterns are currently being done at the foundry, with heads expected to hit the market in approx 12 months.

The cylinder heads have always been the restricting factor with RV8 power production (just compare valve sizes with GM or Ford heads for one reason). If these new castings are as good as TA claim some decent hp should be unleased on the bigger bore motors.

can you give more info?

what else will be needed?
