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 :)

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

Cheers guys

what a great welcome, 1966 I still can't belive I now own a car that is 43 years old, had it out again and running needs setting up but wow!That sound of the V8

Any pictures you want no probs just ask, but I was lucky all the hard work has been done, engine and gearbox, radiator all in just finishing touches, hope to be at classic ford with her, and the cortina day
