yes there will be a few more parts to come

Looking forward to how this develops. Thanks for sharing and assisting others .

Always been interested in the Rover V8 ( aka Buick 215) . Watching your various videos, you've shared a wealth of knowledge and mechanical experience. It would seem that used Rover V8's are exactly that. . . Used. Still an awesome little engine though 😊👍

Yes they are, and they hide wear really well, just because they run and sound ok doesn’t mean they are not completely worn out

It is a scary prospect, very easy for me to sit here spending someone else's money. Good luck with that phone call!

Thanks for the masterclass

Can't wait for part 3 😁 😁

Thanks for sharing. Really well explained.

Thank you, Merry Christmas. Enjoyed this.. more V8s please.

Wow, what numpty built this the last time? That’s crazy!

Merry Christmas mate

Yes definitely, let's see how it comes together properly if the owner hasn't had a meltdown in the meantime.

He got a surprise! But after stretching the budget we are going to be able to rebuild it without too much corner cutting

another master-class, thankyou i've been keeping my running, but worn -out 75 RR 3.5 engine, is it just rubbish, or is there any value in it that you know of ?

It’s not got much in the way of value, if you’re going to buy one it makes more sense to buy a later or bigger capacity. But that said it can still be tuned or converted to a 3.9

yes unfortunately these days the V8 rover is only a viable option for power increases where you are trying to retain originality, or your looking for a "period" correct engine
