Hi

I have a V8 Rover engine which I should like to identify......it has been heavily modified and here are some pictures of it. I should like to know what fuel to run it on [leaded unleaded etc] and ANY other details that anyone might consider useful to me. It has only been run for a few minutes since being reconditioned some years ago and has had new heads with a duplicated ignition system. It was modified by a firm called Carter Engineering in Eaton Bray, since ceased trading. These mods must have cost a considerable ammount of dosh and the engine is in pristine condition.

Well I was going to add spome picys of it but it isn't as straight forwards as some other sites..........help needed here please some kind person!
