have I got a 4ltr???
Discussion
Gents
I know TVR were never the best at ID'ing components etc but following a chip issue the question has been asked as to whether I have a 4.0 ltr.
To my knowledge its a 3.6 (V5) but could part of it be a 4.0? What I need to know is are there any trustworthy markings on the head or block that will accurately indicate what it is?
Also could they have fitted a 4.0 head on a 3.6 block??
Thanks for any help with this.

Sounded sluggish to me best get it checked over. 
How did you manage to hear the engine over the ASBO exhaust mate?..LOLSeriously it does pull really well (will loose traction under full throttle going up the revs 3-4k ish in 1st and second in the dry with warm tyres) and took my mate who has the 4lt Tuscan S in it on Sunday and he said it was faster than his???

There was a 4.0 Tuscan on the rolling road at BNG and it made less than my "standard" 3.6.
You have to ask yourself based on that, "do I really want a 4.0?"
Hi Tim, hope you well.You have to ask yourself based on that, "do I really want a 4.0?"
Had mine on a power run once and it did 346bhp.
I might strip off the airbox and get the torch out to have a look for any markings.

IIRC I think the way to tell is the engine number will have either a a 36 or 40 as the 2nd and 3rd digits after the first letter. EG, if it's a 3.6 it'll read P6363799.
For what it's worth my 3.6 tuscan2 used to spin up in 2nd gear under hard acceleration until I upgraded the tyres and generally I've never felt shortchanged with it's performance.

I hope you're wrong as i have a 3.6 For what it's worth my 3.6 tuscan2 used to spin up in 2nd gear under hard acceleration until I upgraded the tyres and generally I've never felt shortchanged with it's performance.

Recent dyno 346bhp so if that's a 3.6 well that's very good.
Remapped @ Power can't see what RPM as it's cut off the print out but Torque 304
Handbook says 4L

Sorry, lost track a bit here. Are you hoping I'm wrong because?..
