I am coming to the conclusion that the Rover V8 is not a good engine, I have had a defender with one before ( 20 years ago) and it was brilliant, and I want that V8 growl again. But I think that the 1960'design has had its time now , single cam etc etc. Plus they are very expensive to get any decent power out of them, and have problems with liners and cams wearing out. I got mine out of a Disco I bought for scrap, for £600, the idea being it would be a good engine... that is yet to be seen. and of course all the other bits are there like gearbox etc etc
My plan is to fit the rover v8 initially and see how that goes ( get the fuel system , cooling, exhaust, ECU, etc all working well) but ultimately what I would like to fit is a Jaguar V8 even the 3.2 litre has 240 horsepower and gives reasonably good fuel consumption ( Ive had 27 mpg in a jag weighing 1800KGs )... imagine this on gas... equivelent to 45 + MPG Whilst also this engine has very few problems the only real one being the timing chain which has normally been replaced on any second-hand vehicle. These engines are available for £150 to £200 .... yes really.... look at EBAY, they dont go wrong so have no value secondhand. So my plan is to get the vehicle working with the rover v8 and then probably look at fitting a 3.2 or even 4 litre ( 290 hp) Jaguar engine for both extra economy and extra power as it is a far more modern and superior engine .... the problem with this would be an adaptor plate ( might not be needed as same auto box as Disco) and also the ECU from the Jaguar cannot be used ..........however I plan to make my own ECU, I bought a megasquirt and had a look at that but the electronics in it are absolutely awful so I think it would be easier / more reliable just to make one , which I have started to do, (see below) My background is playing with Jaguars I have 1978 Jaguar coupe with a straight 6 supercharged engine as my main project at the moment but I am helping a friend to fit a manual gearbox to my old Jaguar xj8 R which I recently sold to him , these are not normally available with a manual gearbox so we have to make an ECU and an adaptor plate for the manual gearbox he is doing the mechanical side I am doing the electronic side as that is my trade. He wants to do a kit as he recons 400HP ( easily available fom a XJR ( 370 standard)) and a manual gearbox with the correct ECU would be a big seller....... 400 HP in a 90.... not for me thanks !! 1984 300TDi hardtop Stornoway Grey 1984 200TDi hardtop..... soon to be a V8 .. but which V8 ? 1974 DAF T244 4x4 wagon converted to a motorhome 1976 Jaguar XJC with supercharged engine |

Jim G, I love the time and effort you put into that response, let me know if you ever fit the Jag engine, and overcome the adaptor plate and ECU issues (apologies if you've put the details in another thread). Very best of luck with the sale, wish I could help but funds are limited
