The engine appeared in the following US cars before Rover got the engine.
The buick and pontiac have 5 head bolts per cyl, the olds 6, but everything
is interchangable as far as I know. Also, the 63 Buick special had the
strongest engine in stock form, it was listed at 200hp, this should be at
the flywheel, but it is still listed as the strongest.
61-63 Buick Special
61-63 Olds F-85
61-62 Pontiac Tempest

71 B Roadster
71 BGT
