ROGUE TROOPER Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 So V8 rover is common, but what about the following........ Rover v6 Rover t16 (as done by markocosic from an rover 820) Vauxhall Monza/Calton engine 6 cylinder 24v 3L!! Vauxhall 16V Jag 6 or V12 I like the Calton 24v engine idea as its cheap to buy a whole car Anything else petrol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've got my eye on a 3.0l twin turbo from a Toyota Supra for my next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAVED_GORILLA Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 There was a guy who had his series 3 featured in LRO a couple of years ago who had used a rover t16. It was highly tuned and put out about 300bhp iirc, this was mated to a disco mpi gearbox as it is essentially the same engine. The later ones were 200bhp ish standard which would be plenty I would think. SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Did the Jag 4.2 6cyl in my Series. Too long in practice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
