SO YOU WANT A V8
Discussion
"While turbocharged and supercharged engines may deliver heroic levels of torque, if you are a purist who values crisp throttle response, there is no simply no substitute for a sharp, normally-aspirated motor like the all-new 4.3 litre Aston Martin V8. Delivering its 380bhp at 7,000rpm with 410Nm (302 lb ft) of torque at 5,000rpm, it rockets the 1,570kg V8 Vantage to 100km/h in just 5.0 sec (0-60mph in 4.8 sec) and on to a top speed of 280km/h (175mph)."

If anyone wants to use a T5 (very light weight and small) vs something bigger and heavier but is put off by its lack of power handling - check out G Force transmissions they can upgrade it to 500 ~ 600 ft pound torque

If I do a cerb it would still be with an LSx and no cutting anything - NOooo way - insurance and messing what TVR designed does not sit well with me. If you can get an RV8 in a Cerb with no chassis mod (and youcan cos there is chap doing it!) - you can get the LSx in there - exhaust going forward.
Someone - let me prove it. Easy - Ooh and my budget was not huge once selling base 500 engine and box is backed out of it - cheaper than several allegded 400bhp Rv8!
