Rover v8 engine in an Omega? LOL. Only if I wanted it to break down very freqently!!!

The 'Rover' V8 was actually a Buick engine discontinued in 1955, at which point it was bought by Rover and has basically not changed much since.




All alloy block makes it very very light and in the hands of TVR produce close on 300bhp from a 4 ltr block.





I hate to burst your bubble here Phill, but TVR quoted a rather optermistic 240bhp for the 4.0 HC's. In truth they were little over 200bhp.

The 420SEAC's, and 4.3BV Griffs had closer to 250-260bhp, but these engines had quite a few trick bits inside them, and if memory serves me correctly, were made by Andy Rouse.

Plus from what I remember where not the most realibale car in the world (some models at least)


That's a very sore subject, and one best to not get me started on  :(
