It's a TVR block (Rover) not a Ford engine, originally a 3.5L V8, then we put a 5.0L in it and now a 5.4L.

All based on the same block.

The rocker covers are missleading. ;)


My dad built the car by the way. :P

Just goes to show that you can't know an engine by looking at it. How those valve covers fit a set or TVR heads I'll never know.

They have been adapted and barely fit. The plenum is the main give away that it is a rover block.

The fact the distributor wasn't up front made me wonder. 3.5L V8 is PUNY though. Around my area 5.8L-7.5L are the commons with the occasional 5.0.

Yeah when we 1st got it on the road it has 180BHP with the 3.5L...

Now it has close to 500BHP which is a lot when it only weighs around a tonne.
 
My dads car, not mine but thought i'd post it as you may be interested.

It's a Dax Tojeiro, (AC Cobra Replica) with a 5.4L Supercharged V8 engine. :)

"That's a very nice car you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it"

;)

(Most people probably won't get this though. :()

Im literally about to take a MKIV around the ring on GT5, so touch the Cobra and it goes straight into a wall.

:lol:

Beautiful cobra Dax! My father would be jealous of your dad. He's been wanting one of those for a long time.

Why did you even say you could "tell" it was a "302" or "427" (how does an FE look anything like a small block btw?) when there's an alternator in the way of where a dizzy would be on a Ford? :lol:

Over here there are hardly any FE Cobra replicas, although the 302's are a tad more common. They are mostly Chevy blocks and TVR/Rover blocks,

:lol:

Could you repost them?

Maybe with a piece of paper with your GTP name written on it next to it?

This was from June 19th lol. And you say you're uploading the pictures meaning you already took them so why not just post them? It's been an entire month for what only takes about 2 minutes. I'm not saying you're lying, its just you vanished right after you said you were going to post them.

I love how everyone is so familiar with the internet we simply don't believe anything and assume as much as possible (we just about have to!). :ouch:

That said, it's cool to see so many sporty cars from the members of this video game based forum. 👍

:cheers:

Oh and to the guy who's dad owns the lambos and all that stuff...
No worries, it's just how the net works... I've been a member and served as a mod for years on the GTP but just posting that I bought an Sti was enough to get the good old "pics or it didn't happen." :lol:
