Err its a V8, who cares about the power (theres gonna be lots in comparison to a little metrot) its all about epic torque and sidewaysness lol

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

Yeah but as mentioned above the torque will make you plop a nugget

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 lol)

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...
