Been doing more reading on these and they are really interesting. How are they to live with in a Daily Driver situation? It would also seem you could go much wilder with the cam with those instead of standard lifters and retain some driveability

I have a hemi you can stick in there. give you just enough torque to keep hauling tire sets around. an should still be able to get on the highway.
much better suited for the mg than the turd i yanked it out of.

That could be fun, there is one running around with a 455 buick in it and another with a 5.3 Jag V12.

I'm really surprised PTScharm hasn't jumped in on this discussion he has done some wild things with rover V8's
