The Dax Tojeiro with camber compensation setup is VERY nice to drive.

And Cobra kits in the Uk have never had it so good now the Monaro is sold over here!

The Rover V8 is just not up to it, it will struggle to see 230bhp even with a hurricane cam, fancy exhaust and a bit of porting

Cant see the point in using any of the big blocks, there uber heavy.

LS1/2/3/7/9 would be very nice.

Even an LS1 is nicely tuneable with plenty of bolt on bits available from the US.

Engines and gearboxes available here

Easy enough to make 500bhp and its lighter

I once went to but a Trans am 400, I was just chucked the jeys and took it for a spin, but there was an issue and it was setting off in 2md unknown to me and no matter how hard I tried there was no wheelspin on decent accelration and after the drive I felt we had been stuck in one gear.   

The seller seemed disapointed so took me out for a spin. 70+ mph in 1st and 110+ in 2nd, so imagine that trasplanted into a kit car.

Plus a mate of mine had a 72 454 stingray and that was just a tyre shredder a gearbox mubcjer with the power that had and thats just short of 7.5 litres.

If I ever had a kit though I would be happy with a chevy 350 with arround 300bhp but masses more torque and depending on gearing  it drops in 3rd plodding along at 55mph at silly low revs.

Totally agree mark, a cam change alone makes a hell of a difference plus adding a pair of headers and decent side pipes, just fit an engine that has potential, which is why the 350, 400, 454 blocks are good and any of the LS lumps.
