I don't understand you posted the other day saying you can't afford to insure the car, then that it didn't have an engine, and it transpired you were drunk when you bought the car...and now you're pondering a fairly significant engine swap that will most likely require extensive and thus expensive modifications to the shell?

only thing i can guarentee at the moment is it wont be a 3.5 rover. call me a snob but thats not a proper v8 to me.
was thinking v8s have to be american - so 5.7 chevy but what about the 5.0 fords they put in the SA sierras?
other considerations are an 2.5 v6 from a gia x mondeo coz its free lol.
Is the 3.5 Rover V8 not an American design anyway? :/
only 3.5 - size matters so i keep being told. lol
But you said you've bought it, so you are already doing something....
Oh, and **** all these people being negative. Its your car and if you have the cash
Yes, bought it. No plans to do ought this year and I'm not in a rush hence looking at options.
Just considering everything.
Main reason I bought is:
A) it has rs cosworth on log book and they are classics now so worth money regardless.
B) I bought it on a whim.
C)I know one of the most knowledgable guys around for cossies.
Why are you asking people on here then?
Isn't the V8 Rover all alloy engine lighter than the 2.0 Cosworth?
Seem to remember it is when I was doing research for my 7.
