Rover / TVR V8 enigne dimensions / drawing

Does anyone have a drawing of the RV8 engine or dimensions for it? Colleague thinking about a new project and we wondering if the TVR RV8 with t5 box would go in.

Thanks.

I may just be able to help! Note that the TVR RV8/T5 combo uses a different bellhousing to mine and probably has the alternator a bit lower down.

A couple of other things....
Dimensions are a bit screwed - assume accuracy +/- 3mm, and the TVR T5 has the shifter further forward (my box is from a Sierra Cosworth).

Top man. Bloody brilliant!

Does the cosworth T5 bolt onto the engine? I've got one of those in the garage...

Yep, no probs with the Sierra box or TVR box... they're the same as far as I know, apart from gear lever pos and ratios.
