Just so if you want you can stop making yourself look stupid here's the spec on a NEW built 5.0 Rover V8, so bigger displacement than yours but note how much torque it makes and also the the PEAK is at 4250rpm.

There are many more companies which sell Rover V8's and all will be claiming similar numbers.
So wake up and smell the petrol fumes - 400lb ft @ 1600rpm
