LS2 Escos is as good as it gets IMHO
AWESOME cars
LS2 is actually VERY little weight difference to a YB+T34 etc either, as its alloy blocked and heads.
SIX bolts on the mains caps two, fucking awesome bits of kit, 2000bhp+ in drag trim, and we've featured one with 700bhp on TOTALLY standard internals, not even a new headgasket!

how does a rover v8 drive?
the only rover v8 i've been in was a d plate range rover and it was the biggest slowest heap of shit ever!
how would a rover v8 compare with a standard cossy/rsturbo/tdci focus etc?

Here in Greece we have a Saph powered by a 5,7V8 old mustang having an Eaton Compressor, that pushes 900hp that kills!!!And all that with the 1/3 of the amount that a Cossie engine needs.......no comment....

I've just found the fast car magazine from the 90's with the twins cars in. The blue one was red back then (unless its a different shell). See the orange one around Acocks Green now and again.

In 1989 a company called rovercraft in maidstone build a escort with a rover V8 , 4,5 liter engine. This was a gartrac build body , with 4,5 liter rovercraft engine , one of the first engines on the motec engine managment system. This car did a quarter mile in 13,83 sec max speed 147,7 mph. for those days pretty impressive.
front suspension Ford Cosworth , rear suspension Granada cosworth , Gearbox getrag five speed , if i remember right of a volvo 264 with a twr bellhousing and a jaguar drear diff.
Power figures : 324 bhp 310 lbft at 5500 rpm
331 bhp 290 lbft at 6000 rpm
314 bhp 254 lbft at 6500 rpm
