rover v8 - intresting facts
Xtremeteam:
also John cockburn of tomcat fame had the tuned TVR 5.0 litre lump in his racer :lol: :D
hobbit:
It used to be one of the bragging points about the old v8, you would be very hard done by to break the crank, as its over engineered for a 5 litre american engine
Range Rover Blues:
My mate's got a Chimera (I think) 430 and that spins the wheels coming out of the garage, it's awesome :D
Funny that site makes NO mention of the Range Rover classic, spiritual home of the V8, nor the 4,275 engine from the LSE on which the TVR 430 is based.

P.S. I've been for a ride in Chris Crane's (of RPi) 5.2L Range Rover, and it's performance is startling. It should be for what that lump costs, too.

I love my rover V8, sounds gorgeous with the new rimmer ss exhaust :D
Just wish they made it properly so i dont have to be constantly scared of slipping a bloody cylinder liner!
