ENGINE
It is an aluminum 4.4 Litre V8 - This engine has a great history and was based on the Buick V8. A version of this engine formed the basis of the Formula One Repco V8 used by Sir Jack Brabham to win the 1966 and 1967 Formula One world championship.
This engine family was taken over by the Rover group and was then in 35 years of continuous production. My engine is from what many consider the best - from the Award winning Leyland P76. Although the car had troubles - people loved its V8 and has been used by many for race engines, drag racing and modified cars. This is the engine that GM wanted to buy but Rover would not sell them!
This engine family included being used in MG V8's, Rovers, Land Rovers, Triumphs and a number of American Buick's.Also the Famous Apollo GT, a Ferrari-like sports car styled in America and built in Italy . Only 88 cars were sold,
This engine family also found favor among European racing teams, powering several sports-racing cars (including the original McLaren). In 1969, the tiny Morgan company rejuvenated its archaic 1930's-era sports car by injecting it with the Rover V8.
