Rush Technical Specification
|
 | DJ Sportscars 1999-specification Rush |
| Independent rear suspension option |
| Powder coated |
| Stainless steel roll-over bar |
| Explosafe-filled aluminium fuel tank |
This is a Rover V8 engine (based on a 3.5 litre 1986 Vitesse) with:
| Weber 500cfm 4-barrel downdraught carburettor & Edelbrock performer manifold |
| Stage 2 heads |
| Viper Hurricane fast road camshaft |
| Mallory dual-point distributor with vacuum advance |
| Moroso high-power coil |
| Uprated oil pump |
| Remote oil filter |
| Uprated radiator |
| Rover Vitesse clutch |
| Rover 5-speed manual gearbox |
| Twin stainless steel 4-into-1 side pipes |
I bought the whole engine / gearbox assembly from someone in Surrey. He had recently rebuilt it and had it running in a Rover P6, where I experienced it shifting a ton and a half of old Rover at quite a lick!
The engine should be good for well over 200bhp. I'll have it rolling-road tuned and measured once the dreaded SVA has been passed!

| Ford Cortina MkV front uprights, hubs and disc brakes on Dax wishbones |
| Gas adjustable Spax coil-over-shock units |
| 3-piece alloy wheels (Image RS7 type) with 205/50R15 front tyres and 225/50R15 rear tyres |
| Sierra collapsible steering column, with control stalks |
| Escort MkII steering rack |
| Aluminium side panels and bonnet |
| British Racing Green (cycle) wings, nose, scuttle and rear section |
| Full windscreen |
| Washers and wipers |
| Heater (for SVA compliance only :-) |
