Rover P76 engine

[cobralady]

Has anyone got any experience of this engine its pros and cons?
My ozzie mate was talking about them the other day, he reckons they would be a pretty mad engine to have in a kit car, has anyone ever heard of this engine being used on these shores? Have found a bit of info on them on the web, but you cant beat a good old fashioned review from someone who has had hands-on experience

It's an old oddball jobby. I mean old! Nowadays you have nearly the same capacity from the later UK crossbolted engines which have had a lot of major improvements. I wouldn't use one unless it was really cheap or unless I was building a special. P76 has a taller block so none of the usual aftermarket manifolds will fit as the p76 V is wider and that's just a start with the problems you could have.
