The Rover engine is one of the world's worst IMO.

You could spend £5000 on one and still not get to 300 horsepower.

They do have some great party tricks, though. One of my mates once demonstrated his tying its' crankshaft in a knot whilst pulling "spiritedly" out of a pub car park.

Although proper mechanics isnt my thing (by that i mean engine conversions and stuff that cant be done without a garage) how about the engine from an Rover SD1? I remember my boss putting one in a hilux many years ago without too much problem and that thing went like stink (given its heritage lol)

Or upgrade to a Ecotec V6

Thankfuly a lot easier to achieve these days thanks to the Merlin F85 heads but yes, a rather poor performing engine on which the cylidner ehads were nicely ruined by Rover when they took it on.

I'm surprised it stayed in production as long as it did.
