    read up quite a bit on turboing the rover lump and i think a steel crank, h beam rods and forged pistons are the way to go and to keep it a 3.5 as there seems to be a lot of hassle when enlarged to 3.9. not after building a race car but it would be nice to have a nice bit of power.
    wanna be a proper hot rodder.

    Yep thats correct but thats gonna be real spendy, you could use a small block Chevy or Ford and have more power cheaper
