Motor Swap
Uh, though, despite all the Rover V8 trouble is it still a Rover?
I appreciate that there is a rich history of other manufacturers' engines being fitted into hot rods for which they were not designed, but just wonderin', when is it no longer a Rover?
I'm not trying to make a value judgment nor do I fault owners for doing the Chevy swap; I just wonder what the Court of Essence would say.

i DARE you to go to your local off-road park and tell those badass LS swapped jeep owners they're not driving a Jeep
Rovers have been pieced together with different parts from different cars/trucks in every country in the world you find them. I've seen them with benz motors, jag motors, bmw, chevy ford and perkins.
A rover isn't about what's under the hood its the spirit of adventure and ingenuity of owner. It's a desire to go somewhere new, experience something unseen...... Probably break down there
In the end if it's still a Rover to you, what does it matter what we think. Of course I have a MGB with a 302 under the hood so what do I know

Haha. And that's really nothing new, either. Sunbeam did it with a 260/289 in their Tiger way back in the mid sixties.
