The V8 Owners Forum -

Just bought a car with a Rover 3.5 V8. I've seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350123038503 on ebay and was wondering if it would bea pretty straightforward swap? The engine has a Hurricane DW262 cam fitted, how would I go about timing it ...

No that's just the one cylinder with the problem.
how were the firm in Bletchley? can you recommend them?

I've been offered a TVR 5.0 litre short engine. I currently have a 3.5 in my car. Is this a do-able swap? I'll need a set of decent heads, but can anybody tell me what heads and other parts I should be looking for?
Thanks

Just above the take offs for the oil cooler is a hose which feeds oil under pressure to the turbos fitted to the engine (see pic, nearest hose) I'm removing the turbos and want to know what to do with this oil feed. As it's under pressure, I presume I ...

I have my fully rebuilt 3.5 rover engine up for sale at the moment. I want to replace it with a 4.6 rover. Is there anything I need to be aware of? I'm presuming everything on the 3.5 will fit on the 4.6? Any advice greatly appreciated.
