I've never heard or seen this motor before. I did a quick search on the motor and it appears to be 130+hp motor. I sure would like to own this...apparantly is very rare in the states.

Can anyone (in the UK) paste a picture of what type Rover this motor would go into?

I am pretty sure that it is the same as the black top ZC DOHC that honda put in the crx si's in japan.

Your somewhat correct. I jut found this. pretty interesting.

So if anyone has a ZC (DOHC) engine and wants to make it exotic..put a A8 valve cover over it.

And it gets even spookier.. Rover 416's look almost like an EF 4g4d.

This is good to know, because wow..being able to swap my A6 for an A8 and still keep the OBD 0 set up. I may even be able to get away with smogging as well.

Having something different from everyone else is key to me...makes me feel like I'm the only one who has it in my area, which would be the case. Expense wise I wonder if its cheaper as compared to finding an LS motor.

Smogging...good luck. A lot of people have issues getting the dohc ZC to pass. Some manage, but even if its running 100% right, failure is a possibility you should prepare for.

As far as being different...overrated. Especially if you're looking for help/info.

A dohc zc is certainly cheaper than a LS. No mount kit or transmission needed with the zc.

 

i have no worrys i live in fl.

 

i have the ROVER cam cover in my sig...
