Yes...yes it is...well spotted

[ApexJimi]

What engine is that?

and what is the project?

[johnnymaestro]

Looking at the screen I'd say Marcos LM

With a very pretty looking Bent 8 in it.

[cazzer]

It is indeed an Marcos LM500.
Its a blown Rover V8.
Well it's a Rover V8 crossbolted block anyway rest is pretty much not as rover intended.

Do keep us updated.

Don't all rush at once

Wooohoooo.....it's alive.

Turned her over for the first time tonight and she bloody started.
(well ok...the second time she started, the first time I had the crank sensor 180 degrees out of phase so she just made a huge bang)

But the second time, she started...and runs....and idles......
Huuuuuuge clouds of black smoke, but she runsss.......

Muwuhahahhaah.

So, after apologising to the neighbours who all came out to see if I was dead I now have to go and retrieve the dog who dissapeared into the distance.
