    Some 3.5l Rover V8's are 160ish BHP though

    Can keep going down for some of them, iirc they start around 80-100! (and go up to 350ish in a certain TVR I forget )

    edit: I do not remember correctly apparently, 150 in the original buick form is as low as it got

    what box???

    the rover v8 is massive, it will really mess with the weight distribution, they are wider than they are long...

    that one will have maybe 180hp.

    there have been front engine rwd metros before, and even a 8r4 with a rearmounted rangerover engine & box...
