still a rover/buick engine

Any rover should fit.
Early Land rovers 3.5....3.9......4.0 and then eventually 4.5. TVR worked on the 4.5 and upped it to 5.0. This is as far as the engine could possibly go! Quite a few failiures on the 5, so would stick to the 4.6.
4.6 should be readily available from most scrappies..... Change the cam (as yours should be at least a tonne lighter), and put on some big valve heads. Circa 300hp and pleanty of torque!
Tire shredding fun!!
