Carburetors in Rover V8 engines

[Derek Smith]

I’m rewriting an e-book on the Rover V8 engine. I want to cover, amongst other things, engines with carburetors. To this end I’m after photographs of Land Rover engines with carbs.

What I need are high quality images of carbs in situ and removed, even in bits if you have them. For every image I use I will send a free book to the person submitting (one per contributor) and, if required, will endorse as to source the image in the book and carry a link to whatever you want on my website. You will be sent a copy of any new edition.

Any information or anecdotes gratefully received as well.

PM in the first instance.

Hi Derek,
Hope these are of interest, I've also emailed a friend who has a factory UK-spec Ninety with 3.5 V8 to ask them to take photos.

3528cc 8.13:1 compression ratio Rover V8 from 1973 Range Rover installed in my Bowler - twin Stromberg CDS175 carburetters.


Later with 3947cc 9.35: compression ratio Rover V8 in the same vehicle with twin SU HIF6 carburetters


I was using the OEM air filter box as a plenum and the hose runs to a seperate air box containing the filter element.


This meant that it wasn't afraid of water...it hadn't got to the deep bit in either of these photographed water crossings

Cheers. I'm very grateful for them.
