..Hang on..Ive just had a brilliant idea!!..Put it in mine...
I realy want a ajp for the garage to play with, proberly rebuild it and mave it as a display to start with or fit into the Taimar when i rebuild her.
Leigh...if the 400 is off the road then get it fitted in there with an emeral and a t5 box. there will be more room to get the manifolds to scavage properly...wood be realy neat.

Well I'm getting the ECU with the engine, so at 1st I'll run the standard ECU, plus getting the standard manifolds, so will also try and use these.Leigh...if the 400 is off the road then get it fitted in there with an emeral and a t5 box. there will be more room to get the manifolds to scavage properly...wood be realy neat.

I will be fitting it with a T5, that I already Have. just need to get a cosworth selector for it.
I do have an emerald, so maybe get it set-up on that once I want a bit more power
should be at least 350BHP with std ECU 
Them AJP engines are flipping crackers heres an example of one in a cerb efffing quick. This will make your mind up leigh!!!

I think you will find that...that cerbra was not a normal 4.2, that car had a larger engine that was given to the reporters some thing to go hoo at and it did.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boH0B7Dn3xc

Still a quick car neather the less.
Get the engine fitted to the road car and leave the cheaper rover in the racer

AJP's sound awesome.......ok not on tick-over but once on the move they will blow your mind with the pops and bangs from exhaust!!
as for power its regarded that the original manifolds restricted the power but due to space in cerbera there was no option.
early cerbera's as in video were actually called GT's and ran 4.5's and also 4.2 cerbera's after 2000 had 4.5 bottom ends!!!!! confusing i know, 4.2's between 97-2000 had a tendency of snapping cranks so the preferred fix was to fit 4.5 bottom ends, the tell tail sign is that the oil dip stick is moved from back right on 4.2's to front right on 4.5.
to be honest wether its a 4.2 or 4.5 they are bloody powerful and going to make the wedge weep but luv to see the results lol

Autocar had N244KCW on test and were so shocked by the performance, they rolling roaded it to confirm that TVR hadn't provided some kind of factory special as a press car. The figures were bang on the money, 350bhp and 320 lb/ft.

Leigh,
brilliant idea
Serious question - will the rear drive shafts take the power ?
It's been done on here with a Griff (CliveF) .. nice job too
Well it's going to have the same sort of Power as your Engine 350+ but less torque, due to being a higher reving engine.brilliant idea

Does anyone know the limit of for bigger SE drive shafts ?

I just need to get me a ajp engine to play with...
Cambelt
As for the drive shafts i think they will take the power as im sure Steve Heath has been running the SE drive shafts with the.large yokes like my SEAC with way more power that the best ajp and not give up on sprinting...
I would have thought if the are in good nick and the same as the prop then im sure it will be fine. the diff will take a lot before letting go too.
