@@billsinclair6515 thanks. Still lots to be done to get it the way I want it. I dont want people to know it’s not a rover v8 until i leave them behind in the dust.
@@Coordinator61 yah it may pull very well indeed. But there’s just something about displacement that makes it just very different. I can drive around in 5th gear pretty much everywhere and not be bothered to change gears. And unless your 3.5 is supercharged or turbocharged I bet it doesn’t pull down low. My original 3.5 had a nice kent cam installed with ported 4.6 heads, high compression and a bigger carb. So it was already upgraded.
@@pfcvdv it does pull down low indeed a lot. A big chevy is not that powerfull. Lazy engines but nothing special. I can dri e around in 4 th too no issue. Still great rebuild but too much hassle for me.
fantastic job sir, everyone loves the 3.5 and 3.9 V8s but they were never enough for these cars.

Oh yes no proplem i had my 3.5 rebuild by JRV8 to high comp and giving about 250 hp. Pulls like a train so no need for another V-8.
