the hi revving v8 is based on a rover v8 the block is the same, the pistons are flat top, the crank and cam are made specialy for this top of engine as normal v8's tend to snap the crank and cam about 6500 rpm. this engine was designed to compete with the regs racing out in france. it but you in the smaller engine size class which ment you didn't have to carry the extra weight the the rules stated but it ment that you still had the power of the big block v8's 5ltr up. it's F**king loud at 9000 rpm but boy does it shift. with my gear box set up i'm doing 0-60 time in less than 5 seconds.

once again as all ready said before, the cheaper option and less headache's trust me. i've not that long just finished my racer, (6 months ago), and at a cost of over £19K. it is a 88" ALRC spec racer with a 3.4 high revving (9K) v8 with a 3 speed full reverse pattern auto box with big shocks. if i was going to do it again i would buy a car all ready done and race it for a season and then do the mods once you have learnt the car and know how to improve it.

i've got a 3.4 high revving (9K) v8 with a 3 speed auto with full reverse valve kit, its great you get to change like a manual (when you want) but can do it quicker due to no clutch. and as it is an auto less strain on other components. also with this setup i found you are in more control of the car.

hi there, i have a 88" ALRC spec racer. if i was going to start racing for the first time i would build or buy an ALRC spec racer. this will give you the scope to go racing with any club, as rules change from club to club e.g AWDC and ALRC have different car spec rules. i would say be carefull if building a car if not done it before. it can be a big head scratcher i the cost can go through the roof. mine has cost over £19K to build. if i was going to do it again i would buy a car already done and give it a re-build to my spec. at least then you have a base to start from. if you have any questions about building one then feel free to get in touch. reguards adrian neaves.

hi, if you want to get dirty go on to the midland rover owners club web site they have got events through out the year the web site is www.mroc.co.uk. hope you have fun.

hi i have a torqueflite 727 on my racer, they are known as been one of the strongest box's around and it just so happens that i have got 2 for sale.

it's ok it didn't hurt that much. the new engine went well tho.
