It was always a critiscism of British Leyland that they didn't coordinate very well having different plants building similar items and not benefiting from the "ecconomies of scale" the most oft used example is the Rover 3.5 V8 and the Triumph Stag 3 V8

Stags came out with a 3 litre V8.

The nail head was Buick's own cast iron V8. You can pick them by the vertical rocker covers. The Oldsmobile version of the BOP aluminum V8 family had an extra row of head studs between the cylinder bores. This is why Phil Irving picked this version for the Repco-Brabham engine.

Their own engine, ****** troublesome and useless. Often replaced by a Rover or Chev. Strangely, Stags with the original engine are now worth more than those that had the trouble removed.

And not related to the Rover V8 - was an internal Triumph desighned engine. Originally at 2.5 litres for the sedan then ended up as 3 litre. In theory a better design than the Rover V8 with OHC but in reality had major problems.

Hi Diana, I was always told that the 3.5 V8 used in the MGB GT?

(I could have been misled :o)

Yes it was used in the MGB (as Tusker suggests) but no I don't have the engine prefix.

I could have gone down the chev engine road but I want to keep it as original as I can - by saying original I mean using bits off of other engines heads cams blower etc to produce the maximum reliable power from engines that have a common ancestory

And is the Leyland P77 engine related to the buick/rover V8?
