The 3.9 and 4.1 Rover motors are later models of the 3.5 liter model. They come in Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and stuff. The advantage of these is that they are aluminum and weigh about what a 4 cyli

You have to use the numeric keypad when you type the numbers. If = on a laptop, go figure. Alternatively, if you're using Windows 95 or Windows NT, you can use = the Character Map accessory. =3D=3D=3
