Rover V8 into a Stag

Fed_up_Stag-owner · Post by **Fed_up_Stag-owner** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 6:42 pm

Hi

2nd head gasket in 12 months (different cylinder banks) and I've had enough of Triumph power. Anyone know of a Rover specialist who can install a Rover V8 into a Stag. Essex, Suffolk or Herts?

Thanks

Gavin on this forum has a nice rover v8 for sale at the mo, very few miles on all new and/or refurbed parts. It might suit your needs.

Dont do it stay with the Triumph engine.

I loved the sound of my old Stag, get your hands on an engine and rebuild it.

I got one a few years ago from Hart racing, sometimes Rimmer bros have decent second hand engines.

Or rebuild yours get heads and block skimmed and you will be fine, upgrade water peump at the same time.

Thanks HairbearTE, but I'm really looking for the one stop solution, I've had three years fixing the bl**dy thing and I've had enough!

Hi Spittie_v8, yes, the noise is a bit special, I have tubular exhaust manifolds, stainless bigg(ish) bore exhaust and a Holley 4 barrel; it's a manual so double de-clutching up and down the box is essential

In fact, it's the only reason I'm keeping the thing; but I've got no faith in the Stag engine
