    i doubt you'll get many responses from this site as its for nova's.

    i'd pos try a mig or a manta site. you might get better idea's.
    althou, phil sutton might know, as he loves his old cars.

    you can get a rover V8, vaux 2lt turbo, 2lt 16v in, 3.0lt 24v. They are just a few i have seen done before.
    Here are some pics if that helps.
