Yes, there is. It took me 6 hours the first time, but I could probably do it in 4 now. You still need to remove a chunk of the drivers dash, but then drill a hole through one of the heater air ducts to access the screw you need and cover with duct tape when done. Most of the work has to be done lying on your back with your head in the driver's footwell working through a gap between the heater duct and the matrix. But it can be done with patience.

And all done with a 4 barrel carb, a 10:1 compression ratio and max

0.500" valve lift.

Hehehe, kinda puts the std (efi UK spec 3.5, 3.9) rover V8 engine's 9.35:1 and 0.390" to shame, doesn't it? Badger.
