JIM - Possibilities for tune-up/hop-up/dress-up for this engine are almost
endless, esp from UK sources. Suggest starting at www.gomog.com/ . This is a
Morgan site. Go to the specifically Plus 8s location for some mechanical
insight and parts sources. Real Steel in the UK is a good one. A guy named
Hardcastle has two books out about the BOP ie Rover V8. Must haves. This
is/was a very popular (and relatively cheap) engine to "improve upon" and
hot-rodders have been using it for years. Magazine/tech articles abound and we
seem to be well-catered for.

Subject: 215 V8
I am interested in some dress up parts that will fit a 215 V8. The one I
have is from a 62 Buick. Specifically I am looking for some die-cast valve
cover that will fit. Does any one know if valve covers that fit later Buick
V8's will also fit the 62 215? Will the Rover valve covers fit?
Does anyone know of a hop-up manual for this engine? Does Rover publish a
hop-up manual for this engine?
