That makes sense. I'll be curious to see what you find.

The”build” of the cell is complete, once I get the bridge crane built, I expect progress to speed upThat makes sense. I'll be curious to see what you find.

I have a solid roller cam in mine,TA heads with roller rockers, heads are very good,heavier then standard castings,but a work of art, I’m in the UK,haeads,cam,etc etc I got from Triumph Rover Spares (Trs) in Australia, check out their website, really knowledgeable and helpful people to do business with.
Billet blocks, I could be interested, BUT I’d want bigger capacity, watching with interest
One could commission a toilet made of the finest Swarovski crystal and it would be a true wonder to behold.....but it would still be a toilet.
Mines a top hatted 4.6 block, with a billet steel crank made to the TVR blueprints, making mine a 5.0L (305cuin) be interested in a bigger bore block,
Back in the day,Wildcat engineering also made blocks, IIRC 6.0L blocks what they called turbo blocks, as they still had water jackets, there must be some knowledge still left out there!
I've been following this discussion but may have missed this reference earlier so apologies in advance...
Has anyone reached out to Ben at Retro Rovers? He's got an excellent pedigree racing and building diesel and petrol Rovers, Bowlers and buggies.

I think I quoted $6500 just to put the engine in, then we added things like an R380, etc. Ups and extras got it up around $9300PT, if you can do a 300TDI swap for under $10K I want to know more. What does that figure include and exclude?
For the diesels, yesThanks, PT, good to know. Are these estimates assuming the customer provides the engine?
This. 100 times this. You still have all the other Rover v8 issues even with the magic new block. If you're going to drop the loot, might as well move to something better - clear choices being an LS swap or Cummins r2.8 turbo diesel.One could commission a toilet made of the finest Swarovski crystal and it would be a true wonder to behold.....but it would still be a toilet.
