An L322 Range Rover, it was originally engineered to take the BMW V12, so it should squeeze in as that's not a particularly narrow engine bay either. It'd probably notice the 450kg lump over the front axle less than many cars. Gearbox might be tricky though...
Any top speed estimate? Zwoelf said:

Some quick sums based on a supercharged V8 one's numbers say that 1000bhp would get it to 175mph. But that's based on a top speed of the original car of 140mph, and I have no idea whether or not that's limited - seems it is?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
