Rover V8

[Guest arf!!]

hi, i just got my hands on a rover v8 3.9lt but what do i need extra to fit it ( currantly running pinto 2.1 with type 9 box approx 170 bhp ) OR do i leave it as it is. ?

I have a tubular manifold and system for an RV8 I need to sell. It is an over the rail type in stainless. Not another like it in the World! Cost me £1200 10 years ago.

You will need some bespoke engine mounts, and I have those too.

Reason for sale is my car is being broken up and the engine and box are destined for a Scimitar and unfortunately the exhausts won't fit.

 

You may also need to amend the bar that takes the bulkhead but that is no big issue.

If you fancy a chat drop me a pm, I will let you have my nr and I will talk you through it.

Save yourself a load of hassle... skip these; buy a baffled tank, or baffle/drain tank it yourself, or fit a baffled fuel pickup, or fit tank foam
