People seem to be speaking as if the Rover and Buick V8s were interchangable
or something. Buick didn't ditch that engine after only a few years for no
reason. Buick versions are low on horsepower and high on headwarpage. When
Rover got ahold of the engine the upped the horsepower nearly 40 horses. They
also solved the head warp problem.
The question I must ask though is, what Rover you gonna ruin for you MG?
You can steal these engines out of Range Rovers all you want, I don't mind.
BUT PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT destroy a P5B or a P6 (3500) to make a fast MG.
You'd be just as happy with a normal MGB, and a nice restored Rover to drive
to work.
