Actually the ally Rover block is not based on the small block Chevy although it is a GM design…it is in fact an Oldsmobile, the alloy “B.O.P.” engine of the early 1960’s. When GM could no longer absorb the higher cost and unfamiliarity of the aluminum block the design and tooling was sold to Rover in Blighty and they have cranked 'em out since. A much better design than GM’s second aluminum engine, the ever popular and reknowned VEGA!
This engine has powered everything from TVR to Morgans and a whole lot of kit/replica cars in the UK.
Well… I knew it was based on an American engine, so I stand corrected, but at least it was ballpark… I’m not all that big on anything else other than Land Rover. Sad really.
Nice pic nice jokes Not nice situation because 1/ guess how i know and2/ front airdams for rangerovers are not cheap the same goes for spot lights. The only one that i can think of is -SIR the training sargent isn’t angry, he just wants to know how sir did it?..Gregers
Ho yes its the reason my wife won’t go offroading with me anymore. the front of the rangie took off followed by the back which threw the front down HARD as well as the affore mentiond damage it also bent a steering rod and hurt like hell for a few hours but to testify for the strength of the vehicle i still drove it 26 miles home and it only took about 4 hours to repair
Hey, I used to have a CM250… Rather humble beginnings. Killed itself by welding its own clutchplates together… But hey, if you sharpen up the front brake a tad (maybe stick a master cilinder of a larger bike on the front brake) you should be sorted…
