Power figures

[Simon Sparrow <Simon.Sparrow@wang.co.nz>]

Hi,

Had my newly rebuilt (december '99) engine dyno'd yesterday. It produced
217HP at the wheels@4600rpm and 275ftlb of torque at about 2500rpm (the
trace started lower, it produces about this number from 2000-3500rpm).

The engine is a Leyland P76 V8 bored out to 5 liters using range rover 3.9
pistons and new liners.

The heads have standard sized valves (same as pre-SD1 Rover) with a 30
degree backcut on the valves and some mild bowl blending.

There is a fast road cam fitted along with a single plane inlet manifold.
SD1 exhaust manifolds are used with a single 2.5" system.
