Lets face it, a 3.5 litre engine is big to us but by american standards is a strimmer motor!

They've got lots of 5 litre chevys lying around and we've got lots of 3.5 rovers. Well not me personally but...
At least with the ROver you stand a chance of getting 15-20 mpg whereas a chevy you'd probably be lucky to get 10, and i know you can get silly power from the chevy but you still got to spend on it, in standard form i don't think they're much more powerful than a decent rover, plus the weight penalty. But i could well be talking out my behind as I've not looked into the chevy option, mainly for the reasons i've already stated.
GOOD LUCK
