What he said! For the sake of an engine swap you've got a very pretty rod there.
thats why i hadn,t posted any photo,s for a few weeks,, the big reveal was to be at basingstoke on sunday but i doubt that any of you will ever see her, in the flesh now ,, hence the pictures tonight ,, |

i,m actually considering another olds engine but a 305,,just need to find out more about it ,
Thought that engine was a Chevy small block. The 307 being the Olds. The Rover V is an Olds with different heads  Just paint the block to make it look like the Buick iron block 300  What ever you do please don't give up. |

its looking like a good rover and auto box will cost more than a rebuild or another yank, i,m waiting on more details from an ebay seller on item number, 300903308296 .  at the mo i,m struggling very hard with ,motivation, as i,m supposed to be welding up the other arf,s daily ,,outside lay on my back with the s11t, heap  i,m not a happy monkey ,, |

yep that was last night i,m now awaiting the engine number and carb details etc ,, he says its a 305 olds but olds, didnt make a 305 ,they made a 307, chevy, made a 305,and a 350, and it isn,t either,, i reckon its a 307 by the oil filler tube position in the front of the block above the timing cover ,, a trade mark of olds, and buick,, |
