QUOTE(Jaiderenegadesimpson V8 914 @ Jun 13 2004, 10:22 PM) Rover v8 is basically the same as the Buick 215 V8. Here's what KEP lists: VOLKSWAGEN AND PORSCHE ENGINE ADAPTERS Oldsmobile F85 had that 215 aluminum V8 engine with iron sleeves as well. I had a 1962 F85 station wagon with that aluminum engine in high school. That was a nifty little V8 and it got great gas mileage for a v8 too. I have always thought that it would make a nice engine for a 914 conversion for those inclined to v8's. Here is a link that provides some history on this engine: http://www.roversd1.nl/sd1web/v8-1.html |
