Engine & Transmission

Rover 3. 5 ltr V8 and mated to a new Mazda 5 speed gearbox.

Fitted with a 4 barrel Edelbrock 500 carburettor and Offenhauser JWR Dual Port Inlet Manifold, returning 138 BHP. A mere 5000 miles have been completed since fitting.

A full and extensive service and setup has just been completed at a cost of £1280 so she wants for nothing and is ready to be enjoyed.

She runs perfectly with no overheating issues and starts perfectly on the button from hot or cold, the V8 soundtrack is tremendous through the full stainless steel exhaust system. The recent clutch is light and progressive in operation, the manual 5 speed gearbox offers a positive and precise gear change... A joy to drive and what a soundtrack.
