ROVER V8

ENGINE FITTING PARTS - ROVER INTO STAG

IMPROVE THE APPEAL AND VALUE OF YOUR STAG BY UPGRADING THE PERFORMANCE

There are several good reasons to fit a Rover engine to a Stag:

• Size and shape. It is the same physical size as the Stag engine and fits perfectly in the engine bay which was designed for an almost identical engine.
• Weight. Weight corrupts power and balance. The Rover engine is 100lbs lighter which has benefits all round, ie. performance (less dead weight to accelerate and brake) and handling. (See my article on modified Stags)
• Reliability. You can have a lot more power if you want it and reliability.
• Performance. The Rover V8 can be tuned to give huge increases in power reliably. A standard 3500 can be modified to give 200bhp quite cheaply and the Range Rover EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) engines 300bhp, or even a good deal more depending on how much you are prepared to spend.

This coil has only 0.9 Ohms resistance compared to 2.5 Ohms on your standard coil. The microcircuit control of the coil current gives optimum performance over speed and voltage range ensuring constant maximum spark energy at the coil. Variable dwell angle, optimising energy use to prevent low-speed coil overheat. Automatic switch-off, preventing electrical damage in the event of the ignition being left on.

But you will need a set of my Split-rim wheels to compensate for wider track. For details of both see Transmission page
