"Mr Button, I have no idea if all the V8`s Morgan received were from the Land/Range Rover production line or if some were picked up from the Rover SD1 production line which may have a different cam and carb set up from the mud plugger, more so if any came from a Vitesse SD1 I suspect a check of the engine numbers may give a clue as to the state of tune, including compression ratios...?"
Now that is a thought. I will attempt to explore this this Winter. I do know that all Rover V8's do not perform the same. Some are very good and some are rather poor. I do know the 3.9 I have now. Came from a Morgan. Is much better than the 3.5 I had a Machinist build for Me using Buick 215 Specs. It had a Rover/Morgan block and Buick 215 heads. Actually this 3.9 engine Is about all I can handle in My +8 Bitsa. I am happy with it.
