Learn how to get the most out of your Rover engine. This guide covers all Rover V8 engines from the introduction of the 3.5-liter engine in 1967 to the 3.9-liter engine of 1989 through the current 4.0- and 4.6-liter X-bolt block engines introduced in 1994. The information is applicable to both road-going and racing engines, and includes such topics as: short block preparation and clearances; cylinder head modifications; SU, Holley, and Weber carburetors and manifolds; camshafts and valve train; ignition requirements; and special issues, such as how to prevent oiling problems on pre-1994 blocks.

This review is from: How to Power Tune Rover V-8 for Road & Track (Paperback)
Pretty good review of the history of the Engine with specifics of the internal dimensions and differences in models forming the bulk of the product, not enough details for performance modifications and in particular power output/torque curves for specific alterations/modifications
All in all good value for money.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Book review,
This review is from: How to Power Tune Rover V-8 for Road & Track (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in my conversion to an eight cylinder Rover engine, however, the book itself is of low quality especially the binding.
Pages were falling out after the first reading. Expensive book for this to be happening.
