Ultimate new Coscast engines!
One Brand New Completely recast to modern exacting, blueprint standards, a 4.6 litre Short engine.
(4.0 litre also available).
Full engine block, crankshaft, big-end & main bearings, connecting rods, pistons, including rings, timing chain set, core plugs, camshaft and camshaft bearings, all factory assembled.

So the world renowned Rover V8 is now a Coscast block?
Yes, due to the regular 'block cracking' problem in the 94mm Rover V8 engines, because of poor tolerance's within the tired toolings and castings themselves. Coscast have been drafted in to take care of this problem. Not only are they now cast to much more exacting standards, using brand new toolings and casting techniques, thus allowing for much more reliable tuning, and also a much nicer finish to the engine block as a whole.

The external measurements of the Coscast engine blocks are identical to the earlier engines.

Claimed power outputs from these standard (unmodified) engines.

• 4.0 (Sagem EFi set up)-  190bhp  236lb/ft
  
• 4.0 (Bosch EFi set up)-   183bhp  251lb/ft
  
• 4.6 (Sagem EFi set up)-  225bhp  280lb/ft
  
• 4.6 (Bosch EFi set up)-   215bhp  294lb/ft
  

We can of course, and do, make substantial improvements on these figures, with many of the performance and efficiency upgrades we are able to offer.
So these engines can effectively and reliably be used in anything from your Classic, Land Rover to your Rally/Race car.

Here you can see some power.
To show the potential of these engines, we have a youtube video for you to see Here
This is a mildy tuned 4.6 engine showing some impressive figures from very low RPM.

I have a cracked block, can i not just have it repaired?
Well the bottom line is , you cant effectively repair your cracked block. You may of heard of Top Hat Liners, this is a short term solution only, and offers little or no guarantee of long term reliability.
Also , it is not uncommon for the cost of having your engine 'repaired' to be the equivalent of buying a trouble free, Brand new reliable engine.

• Even though I can upgrade to a new 4.0 or 4.6 I may prefer a rebuilt 3.5 or 3.9 Engine
  

We struggle to keep up with demand for our professionally reconditioned (rebuilt) V8 earlier engines due to core material problem, especially with the 3.9/4.2 and for the moment, also we can no longer provide an ongoing stream of 3.9/4.2 rebuilt engines as the blocks are giving age related problems with liners coming loose and coolant leakage behind the liners. These problems only become apparent when we test them under pressure, 'Hot' as we always do prior to rebuilding. We can of course still offer immediately the new Coscast 4.0 and 4.6 brand new engines either at short engine level as listed here or as full engines offered in our other listings, and all are completely compatible with earlier V8's as far back as 1996 (and earlier with small modifications). 'Coscastings', Built September 2007.

• Rebuilt engines are available, from  £1850.00 but 3.5 only. We may again be able to offer 3.9 soon (see our listings) but for every five 3.9 (94mm) blocks we have tested, only one or maybe 2 may pass the 'heated pressure  test'. Whats worse the cost of testing them all to find the odd one or two is adding heavily to the price,  thus 3.9/4.2 rebuilt engines may soon cost much more than the equivalent 3.5 at the same specification and perhaps more than a new 4.0or 4.6 engine.

• Your postage is not the cheapest. Why is this?.
  When you consider the construction type of this product and the need for appropriate safe packaging, together with the choice of delivery company, you will see that we will do all that is possible to ensure, that not only your package arrives on time but  in great shape.
  We could make delivery a smidgen cheaper, but no one would ever thank us if their purchase, no matter how heavy or fragile, arrived crushed, split, fragmented, late or even not at all. What's more, insured against any possible unfortunate event too. Thus our postage quotes represent far more than just the cheapest postage possible..
