You're absolutely right the sbc is the engine recommended by the builder of the kit besides the fact that has won more races in more disciplines than all the other combined..alse the rear of the car looks like someone rubbed it too hard,:)

Sorry but you're WRONG.
The sports used the chevy lump as did all but the very first few can-am's.
When Lee noble sold the brand and moulds to Ted Marlow the Ultima was redesigned to accept the chevvy after losing the renault V6 of the original car.
There has never been a factory rover V8 in early OR late chasis designs.
Check before speaking, eh?
There were some fitted by owners in place of the renault V6 but my point stands - why spend that much on a rover and not just place a chevy in it?
-
I don't get it.
The car's designed for a small block chevvy so why a rover with a blower? Can't see the point.
Also the one off AP brakes? They're a factory option on the ultima.
-
your point is valid. but these cars a shipped and contructed by the owner. over 70% of owners have never built before. they are designed to suite the small block chev. including the LS7.
otehr people who are more confident have used other engines. each to there own i guess.

There isn't enough space for me to reply to this but look, despite the nostalgia and history its still a plain old SOHC, 2V, Pushrod engine designed with 60's technology.
Compare this to the BMW S54, S85, or their v12 in the 850, the Nissan VRH35, or the RB,VG,VQ,VH series, Toyota 2JZ, or even a Ford modular as much as I hate to admit.
Seriously, look at a powertec v8 someday and then ask yourself why people would ever put a rover engine in an ultima..
