[ROVERNET - UK] 71 3500S Engine upgrades

[Bill Robertson]

Hi I've tried out the car and find it lacking power..............even after 
changing the plugs and wires which were shot.................I did a 
compression test on it and find most cylinders in the 100 to 110 range 
except #6 & 8 which were 70 and 85 .............i can see i'll have to tear 
it apart to remedy this...........What would be the easiest bolt ons to up 
the power output without sacrificing drivability..........Do SD1 heads or 
Landy 3.9 ,4.0 etc heads fit (meaning do they just bolt on without any other 
work)and are they much better.........What camshaft would be best ....a 
little more oomph but no idle problems...........What else are 
recommended.................Is it possible this is a low compression engine 
and 110 is the best i'll achieve or should they be in the 135 to 150 
range..........Being new to the V8 i'm not too sure

Thanks
Bill Robertson
