Supercharger and carbs.

[striker]

Hey Jake,

Look a set up on Ebay, you would need 2 SU carbs I think to provide enough fuel for stuff not to blow up at once.

the older rover V8 engines where fitted in the
land rover
range rover classic and also the
rover SD1,
although I don't know which version came with twin SU carbs and which came with EFI.

here's a link for carb identification, rimmerbros are among the most knowledgeble regarding these engines
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/rimmer/rover/v8engine/carbs#Carb Identification

maybe you could sing up at www.locostbuilders.co.uk because there are a lot of folk using this engine in their kitcars.
the UK would be the best bet regarding parts and rebuild kits for these.

I just hope the thing never backfires beause that would probably kill the supercharger at an instant. big badaboom,
but hey as RMS pointed out, there's only one way to find out....

Google midel

Midel in Australia purchased all the SU rights years ago.

They are your best source of parts.

If you want SU's off a Range Rover ask and I'm sure an Aussie will source a set for you.
