110 3.5 to 4.6 maybe
Discussion
Hi, I've been on ph for a while but have never posted anything so here it goes.
I recently bought a 110 v8 and I feel like it could do with a bit more POWER, so woulc like to know how much it would cost to put a 4.6 in there with the ECU sorted and what would need to be done in regards to the ecu or could it run on carbs without too much hassle?

Whilst I do think a stroker kit would be nice I think it would be a little too much as I just want a relatively easy way of making more power and think that buying a 4.6 engine would be much cheaper.
I think I read that the front timing cover has to be replaced with one from a p5 if you want to convert a p38 rv8 to carbs, or am I starting to make things up?

If the later rv8's have the issues with the liners then would it be possible to use a buick 300 crank in the 3.5 rover v8 and not increase the bore. Surely this would avoid the problem with the liners. But from what I've heard the 300 crank is a bit longer than the crank in the rover v8 so would it be possible to mill it down?

Megasquirt is not an option for the hobby tuner you have to get very involved, many rolling roads won't touch it.
I would consider a supercharger on the engine you have
I have thought about going down the Supercharged route but I would like a unit which wouldn't come out over the bonnet.I would consider a supercharger on the engine you have
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
