Right this is far from the top of my list but I was thinking about putting a 3.5 rover v8 in my 90

Is it worth it?
Mpg?
Can I use my lt77?

I'm currently running a 200tdi I'm just looking for abit more grunt

Depends what you want out of your car?
depending how much kit on your 90 and how you drive it 15-22
probably easier fit a R380 with V8 bellhousing .

p.s. just so happens I have a complete 3.9i V8 set up for defender (minus gearbox) that came out of my 110 available
pm if interested
