The heart of a car is, of course, its engine. TVRs have always had commonly two original engines which have been created for TVRs (but there’s some criticism): the AJP and the Speed Six units. But of course there have been many others. All these engines are non original and borrowed from other production cars:
– E93 ford sidevalve engine
– Coventry Climax engine
– MGA 1600
– MGB 1800
– S/B Ford V8
– 1600 GT crossflow
– 1600 711M crossflow
– 3.0 OHV Essex
– 1.3 OHV Triumph 4 cyl
– 2.5 OHV Triumph 6 cyl
– 2.0 OHC Pinto ford
– 2.8 OHV Cologne
– 2.9 OHV Cologne
– 3.5 , 3.9 , 4.0 , 4.3 , 4.5 , 5.0 OHV Buick design Rover lump
– Lotus Twin cam to a couple of special order cars.
– RV8 4.2, 4.5
– 2.0 Cosworth Turbo
Because of they were cheap and available, it’s said some other apocryphal engines have been used in some other situations:
– Zetec
– Duratec
– XE redtop
– Nissan R20DE
– Chevy from the heavy 350 to the modern LS range
– Honda S2000
– Audi TDi motor
– Volvo 1800 OHV
