Rover/P76 V8 worked example

Hi guys,

any chance you could do a rover v8 or Leyland P76 v8 worked example tutorial? Rover V8s are pretty popular (especially in the UK obviously) and the Aus/kiwi Leyland P76 is a pretty cool and liked engine.

cheers

Is there anything in particular you're interested in? Overall, they're a rather basic engine and most of the setup and tuning of other 'traditional' pushrod V8 engines can be directly applied.

Which variation do you have? The engine was originally a carb' and points dissy, even the turbo-charged version, with later Rover versions having SUs, and then basic LUCAS electronic ignition. Later they used full electronic FI, with different inductions, and ignition, but don't know much about those.
