Says Rover in the profile.

ive just read the profile too, how the hell do you get 236 bhp out of a 3.5 V8 and still make it usable off road? an off road engine is built for low down torque not 8,000 rpm.

Doh!

Any V8 makes bags of Torque what ever you do to it, A stock 160ish HP Rover V8 makes 224ft/lb @2500.

236HP isn't 'just' a V8, Real Steel sell a 4337cc stroker kit that makes 248HP and 296 ft/lb, but this has a 'stump puller' cam (which I have in mine) Edelbrock/Holley and stage 2 heads.

The guy I got my motor reckoned it had 220HP 3.5 V8 , big cam, trick heads, High Comp. but its a bit worn out now.

why 236

The reason why 236 is because i dont like boy racers and there is nothing better than having a dust up with one of those Rs things that looks like it has been crashed in to halfords window covered on super glue and winning. who said 4x4 were slow.

My tailpipes exit right level with a lowered ricers window, If I hear bass, they get 3000rpm's though 3 foot of 3" pipe and a turbo muffler smelling of LPG.
