There are Rover 215 stroker kits available in Australia that might be of
interest. They use a custom made 3.400" stroke crank, and come in a kit
with 5.85" rods, T6 pistons (around 9.5/1 with a standard 36cc Rover
heads), rings, bearings and (in the case of the 4.9 litre kit) new
sleeves.
There are 2 Stroker Enterprises kits, one using the standard bore (plus
rebore oversizes) for a capacity of 265 CI (4338cc) and the other
requiring either a 3.9 litre bock or the resleeving of a 3.5 litre block,
for a capacity of 292 to 297 CI.
Triump Rover Spares in Adelaide, South Australia have been building
stroked Rover engines weekly for 5 years using this kit and many of
these engines now have had greater than 200,000 trouble-free kilometres
of use.
Ian Wilson, the proprietor races a TR8 with a 297 CI kitted EFI engine
stated to develop 380hp with 400 ft/lb torque.
The current prices are AU$2300 (US$1380) for the 265 CI kit and AU$2400
(US$1440) for the 300 CI kit.
