Does anyone know of a source for a Leyland P76 crankshaft? Any
idea of cost? It may be a hair-brained scheme, but I want to use it in a
3.9 liter (241 c.i.) Rover block with whatever combination of pistons and
rods is possible. I do know the main bearings are 2.5" instead of 2.3". I
want to use Buick 300 heads because of bigger valves and larger combustion
chambers (54 cc instead of Rover's normal 36 cc). Also, I have the Buick
300 heads but no Rover heads. I do, however, have several Buick 215 heads
with 37cc combustion chambers. I would like to achieve about 8.5 : 1
compression ratio so I could use ordinary fuel. I'm probably nuts but what
else is new?
TIA
