This going in the Big Six? - apart from moto-build ( no idea if they're any good ) I don't know any other names off-hand.
I do remember a nutter with a massively tuned Maestro (500+ i think ) who was drag racing it........ he had a personal site and was open to building stupid T-Series motors for others. I'll do some digging......

There was an article on this engine in the now defunct Retro Cars mag. Ade had one in his Firenza before the call of a V8 became too strong  Here is a Wiki article on it to get you started en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_T-Series_engineBigsteve pipped me to the post there with the Wiki linkage |

I know VIctori Kish put a T16 into the Maestro - he's always in and around the Maestro Turbo sites......... MG M or something like that.
Has him mentioned - as well as the moto-build lot.

my thoughts too lewis haha it would bloody toat the rear end, there is a lad with a dolly sprint with a cozzy engine that posts on here, he uses a toyota hilux back axel but the saloon is all indeendant so its alot of graft to upgrade it, i'd be happy with a 150hp v8 if i had 200 it would be nicer haha1 i'd like it to be a cruiser! lots of torque, best engine sound bar none (as you know) & the 2500s is a good looking car, its my keeper i know that! the t-series is for my dads car! they seem a decent engine with an upreted headgasket! & more than enough shuv for him! i may have one to rebuild/recon just gonna get a egay cheap haynes for a tomcat or rover 600 & get as much internet ifo on the t-series as i can! |

I'm sure you'll know that there's a BMW LSD from a 325i that can be fitted - monarch (again not sure if it's them ) stags did it. Not a cheap conversion but I'll be looking at something stronger for mine. Over 200bhp and you'll lunch the diff.......  I've got a complete beam and rear arms from my mates M3 to have a look at - but it's finding the time - and her indoors is sick of the 'projects' I have ongoing without keeping a runner - so it's a 'one day' type o thing. |

i have a gearbox adaptor plate to fit a v8 so a cheap 3.9 prefered or 3.5 with power steering pump/drive & carb/s is the purchase for the triumph 2500s, the rest is just the time to put aside to work on it! plus it keeps bloody raining don't it! grrrrrrr i welcome some global warming! specialy in the midlands haha
