  • it looks to be a 350 or 305 chevy, the rover had different rocker covers didnt it. and the rover didnt that have the distrubuter on the left of the manifold,

  • @rockhaloschool small block chevy has the disributor at the back of the engine. As I said in the previous reply, rocker covers are for a small block chevy, they are fitted to the rover using adaptor plates

  • thtas not a rover v8

  • @rockhaloschool Ok then as you know soooo much, what is it? It's a 3.5 rover V8 from an sd1. I know cos I took the engine out of a scrap sd1 and rebuilt it. If you know your V8's which I doubt you do, the position of the distributor gives it away. Rocker covers are for a 350 chevy, The idea was to fool people into thinking it was something else. Fooled you eh?

  • As it happens, American V8's are readily available here in the UK plus all the spares and tuning parts to go with 'em. I chose the "buick reject" because of it's small size and light weight. The rover V8 has a massive following here and is loved by many. Get yer facts straight before spouting ya mouth off. Dumb yank twat.
