Engine wise could you now get oen directly from a Mustang or were they changed a lot for the MG Rover units?
I know Rimmers have a V8 engine in stock but it aint cheap.

Jules is correct having spoken with the gentleman selling these bits, there is a link with Macclesfield, and he said he had access to that stock, but I guess when that stock is all sold, the bits will be hard to find and expensive.

Apparently a KIT CAR company bought 5 Assemblies but there were still 15 or so left back in March 09.
Can you imagine a 4.6 Mustang lump in a kit car
