Walter - you already have a GM engine in your truck, why do you care for not having another? GM is an absolute, undisputed, king of making the best components. They just couldn't make it into a vehicle if their life depended on it, which has been proven a few years ago.

There is another option, the one I'm pursuing, to build a new Rover 4.6 with flanged liners and all new components. I've done the cost analysis and it comes to about six grand and that includes all of the machine shop work. Legal in all states and honestly the old Rover V8 is not that horrible. The final versions had a couple of well known issues but it has pretty much been proven now that the top hat liners put them to rest and having basically a brand new Disco for $6k is not such a bad deal. I mean what else are you gonna get for six grand?

The single most important piece is the body.The new engine isn't the whole picture but it's the single most important piece.
For my daughter's rig, I am going down a similar path.
Heads being done for $300, block being sent to D&D for any hairline repairs, align bored, decked, top-hat liners, and cam bearings installed. Also comes with new piston rings. Internals look good so far so I'll add a new cam and lifters just because of the mileage (154k). Since I'm doing everything except the machine work, I'm looking at around $3K, plus original cost of rig (anther $3k and other than the above, it's in immaculate shape. So, for $6k she'll have a pretty reliable rig to drive and pull a horse trailer with for the foreseeable future.

Current exchange rates seem to make Turner Engineering's products look like a pretty decent option.

I would agree on Turner. I have a 4.6 Kent cam and gasflow heads shipped via dhl over night.
Very exited!
Did they quote you a flow rate on the heads?
