Viento project, part deux

Mike,

Good luck getting the car back running. I only have one question, are there any Rover V8 engines left out there, which you've not procured

Good news.. block and crank second engine good to go, cleaned and ready to rebuild.

Not so good news.. engines turned out to be 3.5's. Sold with 3.9 plenums. was going to check the serial numbers at the time but as Jay said you dont ask for a 15" wheel then get the tape measure out.. fooking will do in future though.

Not impressed.

Bottom end sorted, sump painted. Rocket gear stripped and soaking in cleaner. Need to prep the heads, will chip away during the week and hopefully get the engines swapped at the weekend.

Perfect so you'll be ready for a run when we're back from the tour

Should be pretty close to running hopefully Mark.

Heads stripped ready for cleaning and reassembly over the weekend.

Just so as I know, how many engines is this now?

Done the maths, it’ll be the third in the car. Bought 5 in total. Cost.. about £4 each.
