H-beam rods. 5,85" Ross forged pistons 96mm

Harland sharp roller rocker setup..


Kent cams Mechanical 228cam, JP timing chain, new single valvespring (1 coil less) + some gasket + etc.. also i have got mechanical lifters, new 319cc accel injectors + etc..


also i have got another block and top hat liners.. (block is in the machine shop now) and i sell it to my Local land rover dealer..



Also i just receive a 45m trumpets from RPIV8 (same time as my short engine)

Here is my current 4,6 efi stage 3.. And hope that my 5,2 is under my bonnet in next summer.. Inc siamised plenum system..

i can only deam of a bigger engine

looks very nice mate a credit to you.

Sound like a nice bit of kit, But dont you think the cam is a little bit small especially on an engine this size ?

And single valve springs going to be able to cope? Looks like a very good project!!!
