Wasn't that a cast iron engine not developed or built by Buick/Rover?Originally Posted by Redback
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

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.

SupporterAnd 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)

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 ancestoryDo you ever have anything good to say? All i ever see in your threads are how **** Rover motors are.This guy has asked a specific question.All you do is give negative feedback about it.And yes we all know how good your motor is.It makes 400 hp on gas.And mine makes 600 on gas.
