I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
It's actually German designed; the blueprints were lifted by the Americans after the war from BMW, but they couldn't get it to work effectively in their shit tank like cars because it was only 215cu in.
is 3500 no 5300

Err...The irony in that statement is that the Rover V8 is an American design, from GM & Buick - back when it was the Buick 215.
Only a few years later did Rover get the tooling and designs off GM to start manufacturing it on their own.

The bigger irony is that it was a pre-war BMW design that the yanks lifted the blueprints to in the post WW2 German occupation...

Rover/Buick is very similar in design + displacement to the BMW 507 (1950's) which was also all alumuinum, 90 degree Vee + OHV
