>As Michael said, the basic casting was shared by Buick, Olds and
Pontiac.  The design was later sold by GM to Leyland, and it eventually
wound up not only in the TR8, but in various Land Rovers (maybe other
Rovers too).  I believe it's descendant remains an option in the LR
Discovery today.

Try the Morgan Plus 8, the MGB/V8, the TVR 350i,Tuscan, Griffith, the
Ginetta, and the Marcos.  And others like the Leyland trucks.  It was
rather widely adopted.  Although considered small by american standards it
is considered a wopping great motor over there.
