Hi Paul,
Thinking back to the original 215 V8.....Don't remember for sure but I
seem to recall that the original design came out of the Oldsmobile
division of GM. The Olds F-85 had the same 215 block with different
heads - heads that breathed better, too. That's why hot rodders chose
the Olds version if space wasn't a problem. The Buick version was
narrower, so that's why it went into the MGB - it would fit. I seem to
recall that there was a Pontiac version of the 215 V8 too. Lessee,
which one of them had the turbocharger with the waste gate?
