Ah, bollox! That's me out, then! :cry: :cry:
I am going to play with my freebie set of SD1 heads first.

I could be tempted to sell my Tuscan heads with roller rockers for full TA package :racing

But I will also need of hollow pushrods in this case.

Well at least it means you can take advantage of the cheaper Chevy kit.......see always a bright side.

To use the pedestal mount you need the conversion kit as shown in this link. This is for the V6 but the V8 is obviously the same basis

Roller rockers sold by TA are needle bearing type not bronze bushed or plain aluminium. So they require less oil.

I'm keen to see how these heads work on the Cappa Coops!

They look lovely :)

Just make sure you use them and dont sit in the garage polishing them all the time :lol:

I will offer our services, run them back to back on the dragster, no traction issues and time slips to prove their worth, we can always try them out for Coops, unless you want to sponsor a Rover powered Dragster. 9.24 @ 144 from a 3.9 so far.

That would be a good back to back test Alan!!

Your car already has solid ET and MPH recorded. If these heads made any difference it would show up straight away eh?

Good idea mate!!

Timeslips never lie! Just looking at the comp eliminator classes, we would be in BB/D and need to run 7.2 to be competitive, wow! I do think it's possible though, Stage 2 Wildcats have made over 700 bhp N/A so blown at about 30 psi would make enough to run in the sixes, now that would be a cool Rover.

New inlet manifold suits only TA-heads..? So If they only suit TA-heads, how you can use STD manifold for those heads? Or is those manifolds ports too large for rover heads? Make no sense to me..
