No. the original Triumph V8 came with 3.0 litre. It's the Rover that had 3.5
litre. So that's the one in your TR8.
>Reports are that, once sorted out
(and the foundry slag removed from the block) it runs quite well. (I'm only
saying this because I want to believe I will be able to drive mine once
it's back together :-)
my Stag has litte more than 100.000 miles (I own it since 2000 miles, engine
was newly rebuilt) and the 4th engine.
This give's you an average "milage" of about 35.000 miles/engine. But maybe the
life on the German Autobahn is a little bit harder than elsewhere.
