Cool, should make the 90 interesting
You used a top hat block or just standard ?
Ahh right, LT95 then ? Or LT77 with short housing ?

I hope you pressure tested it hot as the cracks will not show up cold?
Sorry don't want to be negative just sharing my experience.
Looks like it will be a nice build.
Interesting to see the megasquirt, thinking of going down this route myself sometime on my Disco.

Cheers mate, pressure tested with boiling hot water in block at 70psi so should be all good, had new mains, big ends, reground crank, rings, cam, lifters, trimming gear, arp head studs, Conrod bolts, and a little bit of porting work to heads and inlet manifold, should be starting the ms install soon, looking forward to hearing it come to life

no no no no no.. you dont need ms3 or even ms2 for a rover v8. ms1 is more than good enough for an archaic 60's engine. dont waste your money. go ms1. its all you need.
