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. Years ago,
these could still be found in junk yards. I was told there's a good
reason why they were in junk yards -- the aluminum engines corroded
badly. The story is that Rover bought the molds or rights to use the
engine or something from Buick so it's not a Rover engine in a Buick,
but a Buick engine in a Rover. Like the shrunk down Chrysler Hemi in
the Daimler SP250 (Dart) I used to own.
