Perhaps wilf leek could verify this?

Nothing rare about a Rover 3.5 V8 in the UK. "entry level" cobra replica engine. Cheap as chips as standard, expensive to tune to any real BHP level over 250 - 300bhp, better off with a US small block. Light though. Had one and a Rover 5 spd 'box in my first Cobra, did well for it's capacity, and never any problems.
