Porkies?

The Dutch Lotus importer has a silver 1996 Chimaera for sale that according to the advert text had a 5.6 litre TVR Power engine with 400 hp. Claimed power aside, did Power ever produce such a beast (and more to the point, why - can't see it be much more that a low rpm stump puller with the Rover head castings)?

Is this a Chevy engine? I know there were some conversions done...

Wildcat build RV8(ish) engines upto 6.0 litres IIRC

96.5mm TH linered bores & a bit of creative crank offsetting might get to 5.6 I suppose?

Bet they don't slap Rover heads on them, though.

There was one RV8 of about 5500cc

It was one run by the factory as a company car for someone senior for a few years. I think he did some hill climbs with it. I can’t remember if it was in a Griff or a Chimp. It wasn't PW.

It will bug me until I remember the details. Ring any bells with anyone?

I was at TVR POWER many moons ago and as far as i remember they were putting a 5.6 litre into a RANGE ROVER for the MD of LAND ROVER SOUTH AFRICA.....

Right, did you see it yet Eric?

5 litres will do IMO.
