On the subject of rover powered cars, have you taken a look at the price of TreVoRs? Shoddilly built (in my home town!) but theres more than enough parts suppliers around and as long as the chassis isnt rotten they can be a blast in that old school fashion.

in its defence the rover V8 can apply to  better  effect the argument everyone uses for justifying the VR6.   the sound track it dose it a hell of a lot better than any VR ever did just disapointing that things powered buy it sound amazing and like they should go really fast .....  and they dont

i was thinking simler car. once ive found one for sale i can fit in and get in and out of without looking like a muppet engine will be thought about.  quite likely to use a vag or honda lump.    2.0 tfsi westfield       tho to be fair a tweeked k powers them allong very well   

I would be looking for a 2.0 Zetec/Duratec in such a car.
Far cheaper than tuning a NA VW motor, more torque than a Honda motor.
Great power and cheap as chips for parts.

It needs to be NA on a Caterfield type thing, surely?

2.0 NA on ITBs...and making 260ish BHP? Yes please...more so than a mapped 2.0 TFSI.

Only other option to what you have put is a TTS or Holeshot Busa super or turbo charged engine if its in a locaterfield. However, Honda K20's get used in some classes because they are better all round than the Duratec when tuned.....

ford engine would be more expensive for me tho as i'd have to buy retail 

i can get new VAG, honda and zuki  engines and meany tuneing parts at very favorable prices also  ex test engines can get diverted from the trip to the skip on a regular basis.  hence why diffrent engine considerations to the normal.

as for useing a turbo lump, it's not ideal but it's quick easy and cheep  as there is proably enough power avalible from a relativly std motor , so when it pops can just trow another in and job done.   i love NA engines but i allways get carried away when building them and just dont have enough spare time build a decent engine properly atm  a good motor chould easy swallow 100 hours to build that i don't have
