I dunno what any of that means but it looks cool as f ck

[carsy]

Happy days indeed.

Look forward to the results of this one. And at long last someone has gone with a roller cam.

[andy43]

So... what sort of power are we talking here. Roughly. To the nearest 100bhp
Looks at own 233bhp power graph and weeps.

[V8Bart]

5.2 giga watts!
Great Scott!

Got your hands on it then Anthony, looks the dogs man Glad things are moving forward again. may be see you during the season be really good to catch up in person. We are at brands GP in a few months if you about.

Looking at the engine - which does look as if it will do the business - I assume there will have to be some mods to the bonnet when it is in the car?

Looking very good.

Think I recognise those Wildcat manifold adaptors..

[jesfirth]

I really like that - swap?

[Precat]

Thanks Alan for the spacer plates.
The plan is for the engine to fit under the standard bonnet.
I need the extra power to stand any chance of keeping up with you Jes.

Very nice,

[Matthew Poxon]

That is a fantasy spec engine that, 5.2, Wildcat heads, rods, roller cam etc. If Carlsberg did Rover V8s!

Really nice and very much looking forward to hearing how it performs. Certainly looks the business. Good work sir

What do we think this amazing engine will make on a proper correctly calibrated engine dyno?

I'll go with 85bhp per litre.

5.2 x 85 = 442 true horsepower at the crank.

Place your bets

[andy43]

Well I don't want to get too technical, but my 4 litre pulls 233 bhp.
Add 1.2 litres on top - an extra 60 bhp based on a VW polo's output.
Add big valves - an extra 50 bhp just because I say so.
Add 100 bhp for the valve cover logos.
Another 50 bhp for those anodised blue things cos they look cool.
Total = 493 bhp on my completely scientific imaginary rolling road.
Fudge factor tbc

Some good technical analysis here and well thought out, in the end we are only 50hp apart too.

Too be honest I completely forgot to add in the anodised blue things so you're probably closer to the real figure than me

Anymore for anymore?

[77racing]

375 BHP not a drop more £1.00 to win

[rev-erend]

380bhp with that mild cam would be my guess but I hope its more.
