Rover v8 wade ro34 Questions.
Moderator: phpBB2 - Administrators
Hi All,
Just to kick it all in the air.
I have been offerd a 4.0l out of a landrover p36 and its a 60.000 mile job
He is asking about £300 for it
What do you think? good buy or not?
Would this be a stronger engine than the old landy 101 that i have at the moment?
also buy being a 4.0l will the p6 timing case and front pulley still fit it?
Cheers
Derek

Change of engine plan ?
Hi,
I am thinking of getting a 3.9 engine and rebuilding it for use with the blower
Would it be a better engine for supercharging with the wade blower?
Is the engine going to be stronger than the old 101FC engine? or should i cary on with the 101 rebuild?
Thanks again
Derek

The 101 engine is based on the P6 block and heads, the later 3.9 is stroger and has better oil seals and an extra 400cc which is always a good thing you would want a set of later non P6 heads anyway.

I have seed and driven the car that the engine is in and it seems to be fine so i will grab it then
i have got a set of 3.9 heads that i am rebuilding at the moment so i will bolt these on when i get the engine also fit the new blower cam
I will make my manta go
Many thanks
Derek

Thanks guys
I have now got the 3.9 an will start to get it built up with the heads and bits
I am wanting to run around 6-8 psi when done so no looking for big boost
I have kind of worked out with a 20 % reduction I should never hit the max blower speed of 5500 rpm
Thanks
