Hiya,
yup, Rover 3 1/2. Bought it as a running engine so hoping to at least get it built & registered before having to rebuild it. Got an auto box cos there just isn't enough room in the footwell for a clutch pedal!
I'm using a modified Pop steering box, but others here might be interested if you've got spare Rover ones.
Called at the workshop on my way home today to do some measuring up of various parts. Ended up unbolting the twin SU carb manifold & bolting on the replacement -a Holley 4 barrel on a manifold that came from a Buick, though I'm not sure whether it's a gennie Buick job or aftermarket.
Fitted fine but looks like I need an angled base plate to level the carb up -found a guy who can make them when I was at the NSRA swapmeet a couple of months ago.

Not sure what's been going on in the inlets, but a couple of them were bunged up with a bright pink, soapy substance. Doesn't seem to have done any damage, but will need cleaning out.

I was concerned the new carb would sit much higher than the SUs, which would mean cutting a hole in the bonnet panels. Fortunately it actually sits lower, so even once it's levelled up, we can keep everything inside the lines of the bodywork.

that pinky stuff is in the water ports it looks like a reaction with the type of antifreeze used iv,e seen it before on rover alumium and other makes when you fit the manifold for good change the valley gasket and beshure to renew the rubbers at each end a known source of oil leaks the first time you try to start her up leave the breather traps off or enshure the crankcase can breath freely then if you get a miss/backfire it wont split the valley gasket

Ordered a new thermostat, radiator cap & the end rubbers from "Real Steel". They no longer sell tin valley gaskets & recommend using a thick composite one, so I've ordered that as well.
Today Taz & I have been up to Luton in Bedfordshire to drop the Pop propshaft off at "Reco-Prop". I wanted them to weld the UJs on either end of our shortened tubes & balance it, but they've recommended making a new, 3 inch diameter, single piece prop & re-using our UJs on it. Just have to check a one piece tube won't foul the chassis cross members & re-check the overall length before they start on it.
