Product information
Included in this listing is a pair of stage 4 Merlin cylinder heads for the Rover V8 engine. Created from 25 years of flow bench studies and now machined in-house by RPi engineering from ultra high-grade, high density billet alloy on our very own V8 powered 4 axis CNC machine. This is truly the ultimate fast road Rover V8 cylinder head, with valves repositioned for best flow and angle, larger ports designed for most efficient air flow and speeds, additional supports for the rocker shaft assembly and more to allow for huge gains in torque, efficiency and power.As if that wasn't already good enough, these will also be supplied with a pair of cast alloy Merlin rocker covers, so they'll look good under the bonnet too.
PLEASE NOTE: These cylinder heads are machined to order, as such there will be a delay before dispatch. At present the lead time on these cylinder heads is 12 weeks due to demand.

Additional information
What are the advantages of choosing Merlin cylider heads?The Merlin heads open up new realms of power, torque and efficiency in the Rover V8 engine thanks to 25 years spent on flow bench studies as well as modifying standard Rover heads. The result is the ultimate in fast road and offroad heads with valves positioned for best efficiency and sized for optimum flow.
What gains will I see?
This is something that's very difficult to put numbers on as everyone's vehicle, engine, setup and usage is different however if you wish to know more please give us a call and we'll do everything we can. However there will be gains in torque and power in the vast majority of Rover V8 engines
Will these heads work on my 3.5?
While these heads will physically fit a 3.5 and run without issue, we believe that your money is best spent on moving to a larger capacity engine first. The 3.9, 4.0, 4.2 and 4.6 engines all move much more air than the 3.5, and therefore can see larger gains from a high-flow cylinder head. Because of this it's best to get the core engine, ignition and fuelling systems correct before fitting Merlin cylinder heads.
