Rover V8 Development

[Jeff Young]

For you guys considering the Rover as an alternative to the heavyChevy and Ferd motahs, the boys at The Wedge Shop on this side of the pond have developed their 5.0 Rover V8 motor with Wildcat heads, etc. to just north of 400 hp, and about 285 lbs.

Not affiliated with them in any way, other than I race a much milder version of the 3.5 Rover in my TR8, and follow their work on their website.

Still probably not the same peak power as the Ferd or Chebby, but not bad either.

Sounds like a good replacement for a MOPAR, lose some weight & gain some HP

Uh oh, man is talking bad about the Hemi!

A 340 Mope will put a hurtin' on a Ferd small block! The 440 will crush the big Chebbies, and the Hemi has it all over those 427/428/429 speciality pieces from Ferd and Dah Generales.
