Hi, i am in Cape Town.

Hi Rhudi

I don't know what their complaining about, the piccys are perfect, and I don't have to reorientate them for the pommys!

I have a Mk3 Rover 3litre car engine that I intend to use. Have already modified the flywheel housing to accept the 4cyl bellhousing pattern of the Stumpy R380. I know that I could use other options, but the Rover 6cyl has such a particular note I'd like to keep it sounding somewhat original. If it doesn't work out I have an Isuzu 4BD1. However my aim is to be able to cruise about 90 to 100 KPH and the 5th gear should allow that.

Diana,

Listening to the 2.6ltr reminds of my father's old P5 but given the choice I'd prefer the 3.8ltr in my Jaguar MkII. When faced with a straight six why go for an agricultural diesel thing?

Mind both Kate and I were lusting after the exhaust burble of a V8 Disco the other day in town!

[Diana]

Nothing is better that the burble of a V8, unless of course its a V12 Merlin (or even the V12 Meteor in the Centurion Tank), I have a 4.6V8 in my Range Rover classic.

As for the Jag engine, I prefer the 4.2 in the CVR(T) like the Striker or Scorpion.

For the SIIB the note I am looking for is the standard sound of the Rover six.
