And a tank like this

Cheers Chris this is a great help! I'm going to use a header tank that is pressurised and higher up than the rad. Not sure which header tank yet. It looks like I'll need 3 things going to my bottom hose? 1 & 2 and the bottom of the header (11)? If I bought a different header tank with 2 large inlets...

It should just bolt on. There is a guy running carbs on a 4.6, so it's certainly doable. What part are you struggling with? By the way, the manifold in your picture isn't the twin SU one, it looks like a Holley/Weber type manifold. It's the twin SU one modified to take a 4bbl carb. The 4.6 pump doe...

The manifold just bolts up to the 3.9 the same as the 3.5 - just as hard or just as easy. I have a 3.5 manifold on my 4.6 at the moment and it just bolted up - do not tightened any bolts until you have them all in with only a few threads in contact then tighten them up. Garry Sorry yes I've got no ...

I'm really stuck trying to make my 3.9 Disco 1 V8 engine with interim timing cover and pump hook up to a 3.5 'twin SU' carb manifold. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how do I achieve it? I've made an album of photos below to give some more context; https://goo.gl/photos/i4qs9zUZ4C1HB...

Much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi All,

Currently rebuilding my Rover v8 (first build) and I'd like to delete the oil cooler by bunging the two take offs on the timing cover

Does anyone know the size and thread of these bolts?

Many thanks!

It's hard to give you specific advice on this sort of stuff without knowing your budget and how you intend to use the engine but like others have said a gas flow job on the heads is worthwhile as is a head skim in order to get the CR to around 10:1. Even better is a light skim on the heads and a he...

You should consider getting the block pressure tested as they can crack behind the liners. (Some sizes of RV8 are more prone to this than others). Really it is worth getting this done before you spend any money on the block. The standard lifters will rev to the rev range that you want to run the en...

Hello all, I'm in the process of my first car build. I've had a 2ltr Capri for the past 5 years and finally decided to go for it! So far I've got the car and engine totally stripped down and I'm in the process now of planning how to go about rebuilding this V8. I've never done anything like this bef...

I have taken a video, I apologize for the shakey video and background/road noise (It's an old squeaky land rover :/)

Hi all, My 3.9 Discovery 1 has started to misfire/judder really bad below 2000 rpm and at light throttle. Seems to go away at higher rpms It is particularly bad on a cold morning and results in a big drop in power / judder. The system is a Bigas Sequential (SIGN). I have replaced the plugs to NGK BP...
