Conversion & Precision - Quality Engine Fitting Kits

Series 1 - 4spd Petrol, 1979 to 1984
Series 2/3 - 5spd Petrol & Diesel, 1984 onwards

Rover V8 engines are available in two capacities, 3.5 litre and a more powerful 3.9 litre injection version. The 3.5 litre being available in either carburettor or fuel injection form.

The features of these engines are the lightweight aluminium block and heads, the good torque characteristics and the distinctive exhaust note.

Torque/RPM

3.5 Carb	3528	134	5000	187/2500
3.5 Injection	3528	164	4750	212/2600
3.9 Injection	3947	185	4750	235/2600

Depending upon axle ratios the average fuel consumption to expect would be 25 MPG

Selection Details
On purchasing an engine check that it is complete with all ancillaries and starter motor. With injection models the engine will require the engine wiring harness, the ECU (electronic control unit) and air flow meter.

Suitable Engines

Rover P6 (3500S)	Carb

Range Rover	Carb & Injection

SD1	Carb & Injection

MGB GT	Carb

Automatic engines are fitted with 'flexi plates' instead of a flywheel, so therefore a flywheel from a manual vehicle will be required.

The Rover P6 and MGB GT are ideal engines to source due to their higher compression, short water pump and associated pulleys, along with snug fitting exhaust manifolds.

It should be noted that this engine conversion has a dramatic increase of torque over the standard engines and therefore care should be taken with the use of the vehicle to retain the reliability of the transmission and the benefits of the conversion. Conversion & Precision Engineering Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for damage, if any, caused to the transmission as a result of this conversion.
