Will have to keep thinking about a potential engine for this while it is on the back burner, some great ideas floating around though. In the interim the blue one is coming along at a good pace now.
You can still buy new engines from a company called Essexengines. They also sell all possible tuning parts etc.Burton still do lots of tuning parts for the Essex.

Still curious what it is you spotted? Not having much luck with the crystal ball. Briefly tried telepathy but no luck there either

Saw that the other day, nice looking engine. Don't think the finance manager would approve thoughIt's a reconditioned Rover V8 with Edelbrook carb & inlet manifold + other parts. Try to see if this works https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/517761389400746/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:7de83025-972a-4577-8508-e4a1a2f8f50d
EDIT: Looks like I forgot the link 1st time round If that link doesn't take you to it, Google "Rover V8 engine" in FB.

asked him how much he was looking for. Wants around £1700Show them the ad, it says it's only £1.
That's a bargain if his ad is accurate and if it's been fully and properly rebuilt.asked him how much he was looking for. Wants around £1700

Very long and wide motor though, the Rover V8. That godawful water pump adds 10” to the front.Saw that the other day, nice looking engine. Don't think the finance manager would approve though

They were okay a few years ago, as cheap and cheerful entry level V8, I had one in my first hot rod, but for the price to get some useful horsepower out of them it’s the same price to buy a base level alloy Chevy LS motor. Starting at 300+ hp for the lowliest version.
