We have decided to do an LS2/LQ9 6.0L GM engine swap! Dana 60 axles and Atlas 4 twin stick. Still deciding on Suspension, axles and tire/wheel setup at the moment!

Purdy. :)

Great work..but...not much Rover left...

no longer a Rover, just some english iron

Want to sell the RRC wheels and tires?

I was thinking the same thing!!!! I like those wheels.

back off I was the first vulture on the scene :D

It may be, however you have to remember that the rovers have always been a compilation of other manufactures parts. The all aluminum V8 engines began life as the Buick 215, the early rovers used Chrysler transmissions before they switched to the ZF gearbox. So,yes we have removed a lot of the "original" Rover parts, but it keeps in line with design flavor the Rovers have always had!


We will be using some distinctive Rover parts such as the hood steering wheel and other various parts! So not all is lost!

Yes, for the right price I will let them go! I've owned the rims for quite a long time! The tires are in excellent condition, no dry rot and 90% treadlife (stored inside most of its life).

Shoot me a PM and we can discuss! I can also send you better pictures! They will have a fresh re-balance from a brand new Hunter tire machine as well!

Cheers!

you gonna use the whole hood and steering, well the that makes it a land rover.

Hey now,the chassis is still there too! :D Don't worry! We will keep the Rover flavor alive! Keep following the build!

The dana 60 is basically the same thing as the British Salsbury that came on some rovers so that's kinda rover ish, either way it's enough to make me jealous.

Those are some detailed build photos. Glad to see this coming together, do keep us posted! Looks like it's going to be mean.
