I've sugest myself, it would be good book, like "how to .... ford sohc pinto engine".... But if you say, it isn't, i'll give up.
I need step by step manual, how to get more power from 3,5l rover.

Don't let me put you off buying the book, it is OK as a general read but it does not give detailed step by step instructions. It just says things like "Get the heads proffesionally gas flowed" etc.

You can easily get this sort of info of the web and this forum.

Basically you will need a decent manifold, eg, Edlebrock dual plane, a decent carb, (or EFI) a cam and a head skim to get the compression to round 9.75:1 (depends on the octane rating of the fuel that you can get).

You could also get heads flowed, the engine rebored and stroked...the list goes on an on and the money spent goes up and up!

Regards,
