[ROVERNET - UK] V8 Engine rebuild query

[Kent Kinard]

Hi Peter,
I think so.  I'm not aware of any differences between '68 
and '76.  Other than the change to lower compression 
pistons in October of '73, the changes take place with the 
introduction of the SD1 in  the fall of '76.  Be sure that 
whatever front cover/oil pump you use is in excellent 
condition.  The pump is adequate for normal use and was 
used in Buick V8 and V6 models with considerably higher 
bearing loads up through '87, but the housing and gears 
must be in spec.

Roverly,
Kent K.
