Love a Rover V8 noise, looking forward to the strip down, diagnosis, rebuild and any upgrades.

Grew up around P6 Rovers both 4 & 8 cylinder ones. Had a 3500S back in the late 90's. It was an ex management car that the guy had taken with him when he retired from Solihull. It was the sweetest RV8 I've ever heard & had never had any major mechanical work (it had a meticulous service history). Didn't have PAS which was a shame but it drove really well other than being very under geared. They're great cars.

Dad had an orange one back in the seventies. He myself and six young pals squeased into it and went to Hendon airforce museum. On the way home on the motorway he took on a small new BMW after being ' cut up', by it. She topped out at 110 mph (indicated on speedo) how accurate that was is anyones guess, but!. The new little Beamer struggled to lose him!. 😂 Great car though.

Good and thorough examination. The 5.0 on the quad IDF's has to be the way to go. Don't see P6's at historic meetings, make a change to mk2 jags and Lotus Cortinas walking off into the sunset🙂

its going to get a few upgrades, it actually came in for a 5 speed conversion, but the engine will get a refresh, mildly uprated cam, and possibly carb upgrade

Can’t wait to see the rebuild Do u blue print it? Top videos
@PenguinMotors

The term blue printing is banded around a lot, and somewhat missleading. it mainly refered to building race engines when regulations didnt allow modifying. It involves building an engine to within the origonal "blueprint" ie blue paper design sheet tolerances, but using the extremes of the tolerances to get the most power. ie, thinnest head, lowest deck hight, tallest piston and rod, cam ground EXACTLY to max lift specified. Done like that its a very expensive way to get a very small power increase. Most engines are infact rebuilt to factory stated tolerances so are "blue print correct"

From the US; I think you already floated the idea-just swap a later 5 liter engine in there. Then you have something worthwhile to hang all the uprated bits onto (5-speed, camshaft, etc).

Another great video Graham, I usually only tune in on the Rovers so you woke me up with a good one, not sure if I was asleep or having a dementia moment! Fascinating to see a car start up so nicely on a chilly morning, sound sweet, and have issues. I'm guessing the owner loves his Rover and has a pretty good idea about preemptive servicing. Also demonstrates the value of keeping a file with receipts for the work done. Great video thanks.🙃🙃🙃

ive said it many times, these v8s hide wear really well. This car is actually new to its owner, dont know about history, dont think the owner does either. Usually when we undertake major work its because someone has recently purchased a car and wants to make improvements. Its not very often we do engine or gearbox upgrades to a car someone has owned for a long while.

No not going to reassemble it just to dyno it. No point I know it’s tired. I often dyno the fords first but that’s because they are modified and I want to know what they are like and what the power curve looks like

@@User-wollswoycegawage probably because some people can't justify or afford the extra cost in fuel, my parents had two four cylinder p6s and a 6 cylinder sd1, they were lovely cars and did many holidays away in them.

Theres a natural train of thought that a V8 would cost a fortune in fuel, plus back in the day they would of been considerably more to insure. the insurance aspect doesnt apply any more and a well set up v8 driven gently doesnt use that much more fuel than most 4 cylinders, probably less if you drive the 4 cyl briskly and v8 at the same speed.
