Hi i have been told there is a magazine that has done a road test on a indy V8.
Does anyone know what magazine it was in?

track and races cars mag, latest issue.
any good newsagent or WH Smith should have a copy

cheers , have you read it?

yes not bad article, they do a track test and then evaluate the set up and make some recommendations to suspension etc.

It's a bit light on help - largely due to issues with the car from what I can see. Although the advise to stop the car from rusting looks pretty important - the car is going brown!

i have had a look most of the afternoon still cant find a copy of the mag.

so is it a standard v8 then?. im interested because im putting one in mine.

Does anyone know what mods need to be done to the chassis for the Rover V8 engine/gearbox to fit?

None! it fits. ive just put one in mine. MK said i would have to cut this and cut that
and i would loose some footwell , rubbish, it fits albeit tight even got it low enough to bring exhausts under chassis rail . the only problem i have had is the steering rack . Mine is shortened so the colum hits the back of the block but thats easy enough to fix. also have had to mount clutch master on the top of bulk head thats it nothing major at all.
