What specifically do you need to know about the engines? The TVR S had a 2.8 v6 ford engine fitted initially and then a 2.9 v6 ford engine fitted. Neither of these engines were modified much from standard I understand. My 2.9 S3 was pretty standard except that tvr put a freeflow air filter (pipercross) and a free-er flowing manifold on it. If you want any information on either of those engines or the rover v8 based 4.0l tvr engine used in the TVR S series then the S forum is a good place to go.

PS... Oh yeah, and shpub's S-series bible is an invaluable resource for the car in general.

Seconded. I picked up a copy of this in a bookshop a couple of months back and it's very handy.
