  • Awesome sound! Water flow a little slow but at least you bothered to cool it, wouldn't want to spoil a rebuild with an overheating engine!

  • price??

  • i would not run that engine that long with such a small amount of water going through it a hose pipe is not anuff

  • My favourite engine of all time!

  • @cmoes Does it perform well now? :-)

  • @Motorfordtoyota Yes, started out as the Buick 215CI alloy V8, and it wasn't very popular because it was thought too weedy for the big US cars. Rover spotting a chance bought the design rights and turned it into the Rover V8. It was over 30lbs lighter than the Rover 3 litre straight six engine yet offered better BHP & torque. It transformed the P5's performance and made its name in subsequent Rover cars.
