Haha yeah I should have explained yesterday!
What I have is a 350 and a 400 stroker crank plus a GM/Weiand 6/71 blower plus a cam to match the charger, I'll also be getting heads to match the high flow rates when it goes on
This set up fits better and produces a rather consistent torque curve which rarely drops below 460ft/lbs at the flywheel between 1.5-4k peaking at 550 from the build sheets I've read online
Basically I get the same power as the original 429 but it looks cooler
and has a better band

That's. mental power but I can't begin to think what the point of it all in a landy is I had a mate with260hp on a rover v8 and he tended to spin up off road so didn't see any advantage over my 200tdi. Then again the noise will be epic ha ha

It's more a case of I can so I will....either that or I rip the small block out, uprate the front springs to 1 tonne spec and fit a big block and aim for the 800ft/lb mark with low comp top end and the blower
Plus when you can outdo chavs in a battered old landy it does make things funny round town that and the fire spitting straight through pipes it'll sound like the reapers coming to harvest you the guy said his one on the headers sounded demonic
The guy I bought it off had a 351 and 302 Windsor, the 351 was going in a mk1 escort too, that things going to shift. Mated up to a BW T5 and custom rear axle

Some make power through fancy ecu settings and tuning, I prefer simplicity! No replacement for displacement
I can get hold of a 572 block if I really want to go silly! But that'll be once I make up a new chassis as a standard rover one will not handle that much chassis twisting power
