the best "Value" option is to burn it to the ground and buy a toyota.

3.9efi or 4.4 P76 although some will say they are getting old and parts are hard to find. I would have thought an 88 should have been efi and not carby so it would seem the motor has already been changed/modified

i have an exelent 4.4 out of a p76 you can hear running if you want. its had the whole top end rebuilt and it hasnt done very much work as it was my fathers motor.
there is no such thing as a stupid idea... just a person who owns a rover!!!
