boring and much about NOTHING + WASTE !

nice mods i wonder what the price was

Very nice 😊 👍 👌 classic Range Rover is made in 1970 or 1971. By 2030 or 2031, the Range Rover will be aged 60 years old. It’s a mark 1 Range Rover. 👍

Hi i have just got a p38 4.0 in your opinion would a svr engine go in one of these. i really think it would be a a beast and quite a bit if fun with that running gear in the p38

In doing a remap of the ECU on P38, do you recommend increasing the fuel octane as well? I normally run 87 AKI (92 RON) on my P38 4.0, and the lower octane has only cost me mid range power. MPG has remained the same as when I used to run 93 AKI (98 RON). But now that my Range Rover is relegated to weekend trips to the lake, I wouldn’t mind some more power. I’m also thinking of installing a new stainless steel exhaust to make it sound nicer.

235k on my 4.6. Might be needing a camshaft

You used to be able to get those cheap in the USA used

How much do you charge for the windscreen wiper semaphore course?

Hmm, some nonsense being dished out in this video, yes the standard ignition system is not all that great but the improvements being talked about are not really down to a bigger spark, as long as the spark as enough duration and energy to ignite the fuel then that's it, it is not going to increase the flame speed at all. The issue with any of the standard Rover systems (Lucas) is that they simply start to 'drop sparks' at high RPM, in other words random cylinders fail to burn the mixture at all as the revs go over 4k RPM. This will obviously cause a loss in performance. Rover got away with this sort of thing because for 99% of the time the engine is lugging around at 2.5k RPM. I have removed all of the guts out of a standard Lucas dizzy, I then built a system into it that triggers an MSD ignition system (6AL-2) which you can program in an advance curve using software provided. Also via a MAP system you can program in a 'vac-advance' curve. All great features although the main reason I went for an MSD system is that it has a retard function for when you inject Nitrous Oxide. With regards to Edelbrock 500 carbs, they are pretty good but nobody that I've met knows how to set them up properly. I have learnt how to set them up and found out that there is never a stock needle that will get you the correct cruise mixture AND the correct acceleration (whilst only on the primaries mixture. (Air Fuel Ratio). I always end up getting the cruise mixture right but then i have to modify the thin part of the needle to get the acceleration AFR right. (I have made a gizzmo to hold the needles in my lathe to help with this). The Edlebrock charts are also full of errors! I use an XL spread sheet to work out the flow areas that any needle and jet combo will produce. The calibration kit for the 500 is pretty useless too, there are a couple of jets and one set of needles that are useful, but that's about all. The 500 carb does not like G-force much either, you can get a rich bog if you brake hard and cornering hard can cause issues, there are some tricks to help with all of this. The straight leg booster on the primaries is not great, the newer carb uses annual boosters but they have been designed badly, I make my own. The last engine I built was a 4.6, its in a reasonable state of tune (road tune, not race tune) but still pulls top gear from around 1400 RPM, its running a 500 carb, it made 315 BHP @ 5500 RPM. Its in a Rover SD1.

20 years since his passing I miss our Fred Rip Fred 💙

I had one with an ls 1 5.7 250 bhp 300 ft lbs loved it .thinking of looking for anothe Holland and Holland and having another one built.....

Hi ..Can this V8 engine and gearbox be fitted to a MGB 1966 ?

I've been watching lots of American V8 performance videos recently. I would say virtually none of them used the Edelbrock carb if they were looking for performance, all using Holley. Your comments would be of interest.

This is a lovely job, are you still taking these on? The 200tdi in my bobtailed Discovery is worn out and was frankly underpowered to begin with, I would very much like a good (if not completely rebuilt) 4.0 Thor V8 to be fitted with a 4-speed automatic and a standalone Tornado-chipped ECU like you showed here. The Disco is no show truck so doesn't fit with some of the shiny rebuilds. Is it worth me emailing or calling to discuss?

Which auto box is in this one lads? Discovery 1 auto? Cheers

Weber? Edelbrock

So, using 20W-50, I can assume your engine oil runs above 220 degrees most of the time or your bearing clearances are quite excessive?

Shortly after retiring, I bought a factory built 1975 rubber bumpered MGB GT V8 in 2002.Drove on MG Owners tour in Norway in 2006.Had engine and rear axle reconditioned in 2012. Ventured to Ventnor etc on Isle of Wight, UK 2015. Toured around Pyrenees in Spain and France in 2016. MG Owners Club trip to Barcelona in 2017. Used it as fun car and transport to golf club weekly for 10 years too.Sold it in April 2022. Because of that car, I saw places I would never would have visited otherwise. Now in my 80s with many special memories.

How can I order this kit ?

Humm… only real mistake is replacing the silent chain cam drive with a roller chain. Silent chains are far more durable, rugged, lower friction, and accurate in timing than the roller chain. And, particularly for a performance application decrease the shock loads of vibrations transferred to the cam drive and are stronger in general. Now if you have increased the resistance of driving the cam by increasing friction of the lifters on the cam by increased valve spring pressure, cam profile or rocker ratio generated acceleration loads resulting in turning friction … exactly what have you gained with a roller chain over a heavier duty silent chain? And, remember shock loads increase by vibration, speed, and shocks such as firing pulse intensity. Of course we often are not thinking engineering in hot rodding an engine, rather how much money can be wasted, and spending too much time on pornography… in the context of James Joyce’s definition “anything that creates desire without fulfillment.” Gears forget them they may not improve things either.

These engines have a flat plane cams. You can't use high spec modern oil. Must have zinc.

Some photo's I've never seen of the great man. Thank u... 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Just finished my LT77 rebuild was about finish my 3.9, this video helped me make a few decisions at that point I needed too. Cheers!

Sadly the rover was scraped

What was the best year for casing a 4.6

Merci pour votre explication , maintenant je saurais faire 👍

Can I do it with the normal discovery suspension cause I crashed one and it has no windows neither dors but it still works fine thou... I can get a Ford Ka for cheap and assemble then both cause I actually need that kind of vehicle for my farm ❤

background music...🤮🤮🤮

Great job but I've yet to see a P5 with 9ts wipers correctly adjusted - why? Such a simple fix!

Ditch the "Rover" engine and use a 340/350 Buick with alloy aftermarket heads instead, T/A Performance makes a lot of performance parts for these engines (taking over where Kenne Bell left) The 350 are capable of making a lot of power with a very slight weight increase....

Great except the guy in the backseat has to do all the shifting!

Very slick, well done!

Is your 4WD thermostat housing still available? I can't find it on your website

About to do this fix on mine. Thanks for the great vid.

Amazing Range Rover, this is my school project! czcams.com/video/BdGRau7VL4k/video.html

You guy's must be the best Globally, I would point any and all V8B's owners to you guy's!. Have you ever done a Scimitar??

Very impressive - and what a superb looker too - I wish I had one!

Are they realiable? Do they still have anything to do with the old Chevy/Buick engine?

Is it a reliable engine? Does it still have anything to do with any Chevy/Buick engine?

The man had gone mad

Hearing a Ford Ka that sounds like a truck is hilarious.

Amazing sound in or outside the car and fabulous scenery too! Thanks for this, well done Folks, love it and very, very lucky customer!

Can I shoehorn one of these engines in my series 3 109? Been told it may fit with some slight bulkhead modification?

Can you please tell me what wires i need to connect to make the relay for the fuel pump

Trying to convert my 300 tdi 110 to 3.9 V8i any recommendations for modification

It would have been far cheaper to fit a 302W. Basil Green did it in South Africa 50 years ago. 4.6 Rover? Not much of an engine even with the hot up bits

It's hard to see but how small are the exterior dimensions of this V8 engine.

So where’s the dyno video? What did it make?
