I can sell you a V8 if you want but the only spare one I have here would probably rip any series apart!

Its pushing more power than a Cummins 6bt in stock form double the HP and an extra 175ft/lbs

I could even lay my hands on a 1200hp blown and penta-carbed methanol injection engine its sat in my mates garage waiting for a buyer if anyones feeling suicidal ?

Have to say I'm temped though but how ####ed are they?

had a look on pistonheads.com, that used to be a good place for reasonably priced landy's but it seems to be full of ridiculously overpriced garage restorations now

if you are ever driving past stop and give him a clip round the ear the silly sod

Noooooo! The only V8 you want in a Series is a Rover V8.

Dr_evil · Jul 19, 2014

You say that......but a ford 351 fits in there just as well as the RV8 and its a better engine, the 350 small block fits in too

just checking did you look at this one in the for sale section

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f59/1978-series-3-easy-project-234669-8.html

I thought of buying it for parts at one time but I don't have space for something else I would never get round to
