Dam happy with that time on the tyres I was using!

It's now time to get the 302 engine conversion moving

So the 4.6 engine is for sale, pm me if serious and can give full specs

Still in car can be herd running, welcome to do compression tests, leakdowns and test drives

Less than 1000 miles with cam/top end rebuild

Where is the herd running to?

[Alexdaredevilz]

Had two pm's already ;-)

Thats got to be about 330 - 350 bhp, 0-60 in around 4 seconds.
£2500 would be a bargain IMHO

Im doing an LS turbo instead, want upto 600-700bhp the rover engine will never get me there unless spending serious serious amounts so im stopping now. But also having a proper gearbox and clutch to match.

Er, you said car had never been tracked, hence me saying steerings probably out, ya know like the tracking never's been done. Was an attempt at humour. All my life I've been misunderstood. Will it never end I'm wasted here........
