Rover engines

Martin,

FYI the Buick 300 crankshaft can be made to fit a Rover block but:-

main bearing diameter is 63.5mm - Rover std is 58.4mm
externally balanced                     -  Rover std internally balanced
Buick crankshaft is longer, i.e. flywheel flange is approx. 14mm further
back, that will cause problems
                                                  with an auto box
differences in rear main oil seal arrangement requires machining and the
design of a "labyrinth" oil seal.

Regards,

Dave
