"Predominantly a pushrod engine"?
You require both a method of spinning the camshaft AND a method of actuating the valves, niether one is predominant, if one is missing the engine doesnt run.
I dont know what pushrod OHV engine you are refering to that doesnt have a timing chain but it isnt this one.

SOUNDS AMAZING i wish we had more of these rovers in the states!

You'll find that alot of the larger V8s don't rev that high anyway. The V8 used in the 70's Holden Commodore, which I think isn't too dissimilar to this V8, if not the same, (correct me if I'm wrong) only revved to 4250rpm. This V8 has been around since the early sixties. I think GM had it first, but didn't want it, so sold it to Rover. This V8 was in production for over 40 years and used in many vehicles. It was a sad day when production seized.

There is still a timing chain on this one.

is this a common intake manifold?.i've been wanting to do something similar with some kehein cv carbs.

@normanplombe - very common, up to the mid 80s when EFi tookover virtually all Rover V8 had this type of manifold

Is there something wrong with your tachometre or is it a quick, but low revving V8?
Brockie777 3 years ago
Nothing wrong with it at all. It's an old pushrod V8 (that was conceived about 50 years ago), it's not designed to rev high!
