So how much MOJO has that Hillclimb Monster got?

Not sure I'm in love with the looks!

Never dyno'd but estimated at 650-675bhp and the car only weighed 1,500lbs...

13" wide wheels at the front, 17" at the back!

Sweet Jesus. That must would be Awesome in something like SGT.

Mind you 1500kg from a iron headed 289 with all that blower gear, huge rims and tyres. No chance, that is less than 700kg. A goof race Griff is about 950kg.

(Can't see the point of hillclimbing though, all over to quick and you are not actually racing other cars / drivers - but that is just me ).

My father corrected me a few days ago. A couple of years ago he built a new engine for the car - still a 3.5l Rover V8 but using the strongest Rover SD1 block, modified heads (big valves and ported), high pressure oil pump, fast road cam and a bespoke Tony Law 2" tubular exhaust system; it's quite loud as it only has one silencer box. He likes to drive it past the village church on Sunday mornings...
