Lobster, WELCOME! Having wasted money and years working on two MG Midgets I am aware that the aluminum V8 originally in GM Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile here in the U.S. eventually found their way into British cars. Does your Rover have one of those neat little V8s? Are the British version of those V8s aluminum or iron? Anyway get ready for about 575 lbs. for a fully dressed SBC 350 unless you go with aluminum heads.
