    I spy a Rover V8 with a mystery turbo plenum. Please show more. It looks pretty special.

    you are correct,
    cortina runs a 3.5 rover which is bone stock apart from ARP head studs to which i have added a single t4 / t3 hybrid turbo and the best bit its blow through using a much modified 650 double pumper holley carb , set up runs pretty good , its limited to 3.6 pounds of boost other wise it will just kill it self .run it all last year with very little trouble.
