5 Litres? Yes please.
They made hundreds of thousands of them, they can be picked up for next to nothing and they give lots of cheap power.

I agree - cheap power and torque but to get anything more out of them costs a hell of a lot. I think Ford tuning bits are cheaper...
Sorry but I'm still salivating over those manifolds - look very TVR Griffith but home-brewed.... need something like that on my V8.... for which tuning parts don't even exist!! ;D ;D

Whats wrong with a rover?? yeah as they all said the rover is very expencive to tune and not the strongest or most reliable of v8's plus its the same size as a big block with about the power of a big block starter motor ;D with all that effort it would be better and much more cost effective to have fitted a small block ford or chevy these fitted with alloy heads don't weigh much more than a pinto and are much easier and cheaper to tune  |

Looking good. Chevy tuning bits are cheaper than F*rd are they not? If you can stand to be associated with Daewoo that is!
I'd probably go Rover though, having had one. Are small block Ford/Chevy lumps really light in standard guise?

IIRC, a TVR V8 is based on a Rover.

Mmmm - I was thinking the same, I see a fuel l rail TVR V8 derived from the Rover unit has a flat plane crank doesn't it? hence hight rev characteristics |

TVR used rover engines until they bought out the Chimera in the 90's, they designed an all new V8 for that and haven't looked back since
