I have both engines used in stock if you are interested.</div><div class="">Alternately, you could have your present motor upgraded in power by using higher compression pistons, a more radical camshaft and improvements to your Fuel Injection mapping. This is what I did with my SD1 when I rebuilt the motor some years ago. The car is now no slouch and is an excellent Grand Touring car for fast longer journeys. Still prefer my 1971 2000TC for running around the County.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dermot Harvey</div><div class="">Spectral Kinetics</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Feb 29, 2016, at 6:46 PM, Brian Thornhill via Rovernet <<a href="mailto:rovernet@rovernet.org" class="">rovernet@rovernet.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Being a Land Rover tech for 17 years and working with these motors for many years I am not a fan of boring them as you tend to break the seal loose between the sleeve and the block I have sourced a few good 3.9 and 4.6 blocks for guys with TR8's they work well if you ant to stay with that block contact The Wedge Shop they can help you.<br class=""><br class="">Please excuse errors and format this email sent from iPhone<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Feb 29, 2016, at 3:21 PM, GeffMcCarthy via Rovernet <<a href="mailto:rovernet@rovernet.org" class="">rovernet@rovernet.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">I am still looking for more thrust for my 1970 3500S and 1980SD1.
