Rover engines

Martin, here's what I know about the Rover V8 and it's various engine sizes.

      3.5          88.90mm bore, 71.00mm stroke
      3.9          94.04mm bore, 71.00mm stroke
      4.2          94.04mm bore, 77.00mm stroke

These are variations that have been or are in production in the UK. Australia
have had the V8 in 4.4l. This was derived from a 88.90mm bore and 88.90mm
stroke.

As far as I know race engines have been taken out to 5.0l by using a bore of
95.50mm and a stroke of 89.90mm. This was achieved with a P76 crank shaft and
the engine was put together by Leyland Australia and Repco in for Formula
5000 in 1973 and was put in both Lola and Elfin chassis.

Hope this helps,

Dave
