- This is my first time posting, although I have been an avid fan for months. I am dreaming of dropping a Rover V8 in my '70 mgbgt, but want to find one cheap. My question is: What vehicles have Rover

- Why??? There is some justification for the mGB, as the engine compartment is big enough, and the car has a longer wheelbase as well as a bit more weight. This one strikes me as a nearly impossible s

- There's one really easy answer: Triumph TR8. Not a lot around, but they have the 3.5l version. Mines for sale, but you have to buy the car surrounding it so it won't be very cost effective. Another

- In the US (I'm assuming thats where you are located) Land Rover D90 and D110, Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery and Morgan +8. You don't want to buy one to donate an engine. You will need to modify y

- Move to Oz, we have heaps of them here. You can even buy the factory MGB V8s, if you have enough money. I have two of the factory cars and an ex US spec rubbernose into which 1986 fuel injected Rang

- Since no one else has answered the Buick part of this question, I'll tell what little I know on the subject. Some model (or maybe more) of '62 (and possibly '63) Buicks got the all-aluminum V8. Year

- While you're scouring the boneyards for the old Buick 215, don't overlook any Oldsmobiles from the same period (somewhere around '62-65). Same basic engine with different exhaust and intake manifolds

- 62-65 Pontiac Tempest's and Oldmobile F-85's had the engines as well. My buddy in high school had a 62 F-85. He rebuilt the engine and 4 speed automatic but never but it back in. A few years ago he

- The Olds was the F-85. There are a couple of these (Buick, Olds) at Bob's Wrecking in Milan, OH with engines and automatic trannies. A mixed bag--one is almost complete, another is missing manifolds

- Re: which Buicks had the AL V8. As others have mentioned, Buicks and Olds, the Olds had different breathing gear. The other thing I have to add, is you guys aren't going far enough back. 1961 Buick S
