I disagree with you, m60/m64 engines i suppose were much better and much more reliable than m70 v12. And it only puts out 8hp more than the 4.0 litre v8.

4.6 rover v8, tvr flat plane crank, H section rods, je pistons, wildcat heads(fully worked with race spec internals), race cams and ssd management(plug and play) revs to 8750rpm
plus it has a short shift which makes any z3 conversion seem as sloppy as a soho street walkers fanny and longer than the nile !!
