http://www.baileyperformance.co.uk Sierra Cosworth V8.
Engine spec -
Rover 4600cc bottom end with top hat liners, standard range rover internals.
3.9 camshaft, duplex timing chain.
Gas flowed 3.9 heads, 3.9 injection hardware with 450cc injectors
Procharger supercharger driven by 8 rib belt running at 12psi max

Ford coil packs, EDIS ignition, Megasquirt ECU with Innovate LC-1 wideband controller.
The car is a standard 2WD saf cosworth, T5 gearbox fitted with custom bellhousing to take the Rover V8. AP racing TVR paddle clutch.
The engine produces all of its power at very low rpm, when it was fitted with a Eaton blower it made 600ib/ft at 2000rpm!! The procharger give the engine a more usable power curve, nicer to drive.
The standard 2WD diff as been replaced with a quaife ABT as it has managed to destroy 3 standard Ford diffs!
