Rover engines

[Brian P. Davies]

I used to live in England but have been stateside for over 6 years now.
As far as I can remember....., the 215 Olds engine was indeed the engine that
Rover licenced their design from however starting with the Rover SD1 @1976 Rover
modified the heads with bigger intake valves, thus substancially increasing
performance.  On the induction side of the engine the twin SU carbs were a major
restriction. The Offenhouser 360 manifold and Holley 390cfm carb are the
induction pieces of choice for most hot rodders in the UK.  However a F.I.
system should be able to improve economy and performance from there.
Hope the info helps.
