Someone (sorry, lost the post) asked what the engine block number was...
CR8.13:1 (the colon is actually a period located high)
@13A00232@ ("@" is BL symbol)
These were both on the ID pad. Anyone know what the first one is? Also, in
several places on the block, there is a large "B" stamped into the sand casting.
This appears to be a California TR8 (FI) block.
The heads have the 40mm intake valves, so they're "post SD1". (probably TR8)
(been reading "Tuning Rover V8 Engines" :)
The exhaust manifolds appear to be TR8.
The timing cover has a rope seal, so it's originally P6B.
The distributor is a points type, either P6B or Buick
The intake manifold appears to be a stock Buick 4-bbl unit. (no insignia)
Anyone have any comments/corrections?
Thanks!
Kevin
P.S. The Rover 3500 (SD1) I checked out last night is missing almost everything
I was going to buy it for! As they say, "if it sounds too good..."
