worth asking the folks on the UK forum (UK Cobra Club - The Front Page) regarding the larger Rover V8's or even speak to DAX themselve.

Hi Gary,

I've been thinking about it.

But the rover engine is already is a 4.3 tvr(so I'm told)

And I would like to have 350hp,

The other thing is

A 3.5 bored to a 5 liter how reliable is that ?

And what's the price of such an engine.

Greetings
