bortaf 83 Posted March 8, 2009 It was back in the day when rover V8's were 2 a penny, there was even companys selling conversion kits to fit em into cortinas, capris and mantas :thumbup: I think the cost of tuining parts has swung the engine of choice to Yank V8s nowdays though :) There's a few V8 owners on here will know more :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Austin 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Welcome to the site. I'm new here myself and am planning to do just what you've bought. Rover 3.5 with the LT77 into a '70 Mark II. Good to see it does fit in there. I may be asking for pictures as my project progresses, if you don't mind. Cheers Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
