You dont get if you dont ask.
Has anyone got or know where i can get hold of a 4.6 Rover V8?
I may also consider a 4.0

In what condition?
Ready assembled, or just a block to take all your own tackle?

Try RPI Eng. In one of their recent YouTube videos they mentioned they have a V8D 4L out of a V8S that they are considering selling.

Something serviceable, and yes to bolt my goodies to

That would be a pre serp 3.9 in an S though unless it had been swapped out for a later version.

LRS in Stanley will do a 4.6 long block if you can get it shipped. I source my blocks there

This seller always has a lot of stuff around, I spoke with them when looking for a 4.6 engine a few years ago but sadly nothing came of it.
I believe they supply some stuff to V8D and have engines back from them too.

I got a reply from RPI about the TVR engine they have available.
Its a good V8D built 4.0 with Emerald ECU but it is at a rather stupendous price.

I have my old repaired 5.5 block which needs top hatting and a set of 4.6 pistons.
