I think a 454 and 8v71 blower should be plenty

it'll be pushing plenty of power that's for sure

fett · Feb 20, 2014

theres a 528 to go afta that!

Ive seen a classic RR with a Detroit 6V92 grafted in, 9 ltr supercharged 2 stroke 1000nm,
sounded nice too. so there is always scope to go bigger.

True but a 2 stroke derv doesn't appeal to me

although a merlin would

no god would make that possible for the hands of a butcher to get hold of a merlin

But the butcher has ways of finding these things

there was the non chargers Merlin. Can't remember its name but it was ok eBay for £2700 if I had the cash to blow I would have!

Or that Sonny Leonard 11 litre that was on Roadkill

Well its time to **** off down south and collect the 454, Sam I'll drop you a text on the way back, if you want to have a few minutes to look over things I'll swing by

If not wait for the LZ pics!

Doc if you do one thing in life stick this engine in, make it work and leave it be.

Ya like a fly in a wind tunnel

Dr_evil · Feb 22, 2014

jai_landrover · Feb 22, 2014

No please stay oup Norf !!!

Lol where you heading Dr

Dr_evil · Feb 22, 2014

Swindon. Currently in the services on M42 having a slash though

Dr_evil · Feb 22, 2014

Got the engine. About 3 hours out from home now but it's a monster! Ported heads, high torque cam, full gasket set with new bolts too. All I need is a set of piston rings and it can go together next weekend if I have time

At which point you'll rip it out again for an engine from a challenger 2 tank

Some preliminary pics are uploading now, its dark out so they're a bit **** but you can see the extensive head porting.

Heads have been rebuilt with new valves and springs, just needs a quick clean up as theres a bit of dust/surface rust

Dr_evil · Feb 22, 2014

Flash seems to have exaggerated the surface rust, its no where near as bad as it looks. The blower is actually polished but some #### painted it orange then silver so I'll be taking a flap disc on a drill to it

robbh · Feb 22, 2014

hurry up and drop it in the series :crazy:

Dr_evil · Feb 22, 2014

Need to get a set of rings for it and then it can go together

everything else from gaskets to bearings to high strength con rod bolts came with it!
