You should take engine back at get your money back if you are really tht i dont even know what the word is
It looks like a petrol V8 ...
the inlet manifold on the right and carb mount above it are a clue ...
could be a SD1 Rover lump, (like the old Police cars), or ...
out of a Stage One Land Rover or even a 101
sorry man it looks like you've been fibbed to ...
find the engine number and put it in here :
Rover V8 Engine Numbers
if no joy post back and we'll see what we can do ...
Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
**** me boys I can't believe you guys are kinda sitting on the fence here "it kinda looks like a petrol"
It's a ****ing rover v8!
ANYWAY Andy, my advice is this:
Go round and have a chat with the seller and ask exactly wtf is going on.
Also, before you do, and BE HONEST, what did you pay for the engine?
That will allow us to decide on what amount of shouting you should do.
The rover v8 is a fabulous (take that in the best context please) engine and the 3.5 is a reliable old donkey at that, but that to me looks very much like what we would call a P6 engine which will have low compression, thus make around 120 bhp and will still do around 10mpg average.
Let us know how much you paid and your thoughts on whether you REALLY want the v8 fuel cost because a 200di or tdi conversion is much more popular (similar drive ability but double the economy)
By the way if you are having us on I will shaft you myself.
Cheers
