Thats what the brochure said though diff ratio wise on the 429, seems to be about the same size as the RV8 just a bit heavier! Engine was way ahead of its time from what I'd read up on anyway

well get the motor and find serial number then we can figure out what you need. You might get lucky and a flywheel off the 427 or 454 might fit the end of the crank
 
The 6.5 derv is a smallblock based motor bud and re mpg not sure those ratios will be right for that motor

beg to differ..only thing in common is bellhousing pattern..

the olds 350 derv is however...

There was a blown range rover on ebay the other day, bet they are great fun. I know janspeed did turbos for rv8s too back in the day.
