Rover V8

[Guest michael.goodall2]

Following the completion of my 2b last year with a standard 2.0lt pinto, I have spent considerable time looking at alternative engine options. This concluded around a month ago when I purchased a 3.5 lt Rover V8. I am currently rebuilding the engine before commencing the fitting over the winter period.

I appreciate this is not going to be an easy task, but the best things in life are worth a bit of effort, plus I wanted something a little different and you cant beat the sound of a V8.

Has anyone else managed this to date, and if so I would welcome any advice and guidance. I am espically interested in the use of the Type 9 gearbox behind the Rover and alternative brake master cylinder fitting options.
