Rover V8 is the same weight as the Omega V6 with less power in 3.5/3.9/4.0 form (torque is less important on a light car)

Plus finding a  good one is hard, tuning one is VERY expensive., getting a gearbox....almost impossible now

can run taller gear ratios and different cam and rhoads lifters-£200, V8s sound way better than poxy v6 any day of the week

You will have to let me know where I can get the likes of a decent can (hurricane, typhoon etc ) and a set of lifters for that price. Plus you also need a full set of gaskets plus a decent timing chain and gears to do such a change and even then you will struggle to see 200 bhp from a 3.5.

Add in the need for valve guide machining on one of the above cams plus the preference for dual springs on the valves and the price quickly rockets
