Probably plenty of pure-American V8s producing more than double the power and torque of this Rover V8...

Yeah, thats 600 break in normally aspirated form. What was it outputting when blown? I would think a lot more to get them times.

Lund Engines'll do you a Rover drag motor outputting just over 1000 break, and this lump is quicker.

Nice engine, if hugely impractical.

And not exactly economical on the urban cycle!  :lol:

cheers
