Hi Al,
Thanks for your response.
For some reason I don't seem able to view your list of parts. Is this in a
Rovernet archive of some sort? I get a message asking for my e-mail and
password (which I can't remember -- it's been years since I set up the
account, but most likely can get this from Eric if it is indeed necessary).
Perhaps the fellow who may have been interested in the whole lot has made a
decision by now. If so, this may be a moot point. Best of luck with
finding a good home for the car, in any case. If it were nearby, I might be
a good candidate for such a project -- but you're on the other side of the
continent, unfortunately.
I've been concentrating on getting one of my cars back on the road lately
and just made a weekend trip of several hundred miles that involved a visit
to my brother's place in Virginia (where he has a garage with a lift).
Please let me know about accessing the list, in case some parts are still
available. I have collected lots of things together over the past few
years, but perhaps there's something you have there that I might need.
Thanks,
Robert

I'm doing a thermo fan conversion on my 4.6 SD1 (i.e. replacing the engine driven fan with twin electric ones) using Australian Ford Falcon AU V8 fans and shroud and an AFCO aluminium radiator.
To get a bit more clearance between the shroud and the engine I want to swap the SD1 water pump for a P5/6B shorter nose type. Rover ones are available in the UK for a (high) price, but I understand GMB, TWR and QH pumps for the Buick 300/340 are available for a lot less and fit right up. Is this correct? Are they the same as Buick 215 pumps? Are the pulleys also available?
Do I also need to change the crankshaft pulley to suit the new pump? If so do the Buick pulleys fit the 4.6 crank?
Many thanks

Hi Rob,
I have new airfix buick pump available if you want it. Say $100 incl freight. It comes with an EH holden pulley and spacer to line up with the standard SD1 pulleys. I ordered two when I put one on my SD1. The pumps themselves are only about US$30 plus US$30 freight from northern auto parts but the pulley and spacer cost me $40. You also need a two small spacers to line up the air con bracket but I just used old nyloc nut and a washer.
If you can find a better pulley you can cut a bit of the nose off the pump and get more clearance.

Morning All,
I need a bit of help in getting the word out there about a web site that
a fellow Rover Special owner has set up.
Have a read of the emails below between Hans and myself, that will give
you a gist of what information and help we are after.
If you know of anyone or could put us onto someone then please send an
email to ether Hans or myself.
Many Thanks Chaps.

Morning Hans,
I know from talking to rover folk around the world that there are other
Rover Specials out there. In my home town there is one in the south of
West Australia that I have heard about but never seen. There is also a
rumour of a Boat Tail Special in the hills around Perth that I have been
searching for. Other than a few dead ends nothing for two years, I will
keep searching though as I believe that will make a super 'barn find'!
I think we may need to start asking around to see what others know of.
Let's start with such places as the RSR forum, classic car forums ECT.
Perhaps even a direct email or Phone call to people we know who may be
able to help.
What about Mike Maher I think he would be a good start, he already has
a Kitcher so may know contact details of the other 7. I believe there
are other makes out there that Roly did, would be great to find some of
them.

Hallo Dennis,
I have changed the header of the site and think I know who the German

Do you know any?
Ciao, Hans

What a great idea of course you can use anything I have. How about
instead of the Kitcher only, open it up a bit more and have it for Rover
specials. Mike Cauldry told me he sends every 12 HP chasse he finds to a
chap in Germany who makes them into 'Rover Specials' perhaps if we could
find him we could ask him to send in photos of his cars.
I'm not sure if I told you that I have set up a Rover email group for
Rovers. Not to compete with the RSR forum or the Rovernet but more a
easy to use tool for help and showing photos of Rovers. How about I send
you an invite and you could reply with a link to your web link.
Take Care and just ask if I can help in anyway.

It is only in Dutch at the moment, but I intend to make it in English

Hi Eric,
I have a fellow coming over this Saturday from Vancouver to look at the
whole package. It is my preference to sell this as a unit and try to "keep
it on the road"
So I will know more after Saturday.
Thanks for the offer of posting the list. I will let you know the outcome of
Saturday.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Sad news, another old Rover boy passes away.
Message-ID: <22277FA4DC114345BE6B8781C8287946@SN037535920331>
Some bad news I'm afraid.
Former Rover Employee and P6 development man, Stan Flavel died on Sunday morning 31st October 2010.
Stan was involved in many things for example, clutch development and also built the test equipment & rigs for the test department. He died after a period of illness related to pancreatic cancer.
I have the following details of the service to be held next week.
1. Service, 12.30pm,Wednesday 10 November, St James the Great,Shirley.
2. Internment 1.30 Widney Manor Cemetery.
3. Donation, if desired. Pancreatic Cancer Research.
4. Funeral Directors. Dyson Richards, Shirley, 0121 744 1006.
Sad to say another of the old Rover boys has gone and will be sorely missed.
Our condolences to his friends and family.
Speak Soon
Warmest regards

Morning All,
I need a bit of help in getting the word out there about a web site that
a fellow Rover Special owner has set up.
Have a read of the emails below between Hans and myself, that will give
you a gist of what information and help we are after.
If you know of anyone or could put us onto someone then please send an
email to ether Hans or myself.
Many Thanks Chaps.
Den.

Morning Hans,
I know from talking to rover folk around the world that there are other
Rover Specials out there. In my home town there is one in the south of
West Australia that I have heard about but never seen. There is also a
rumour of a Boat Tail Special in the hills around Perth that I have been
searching for. Other than a few dead ends nothing for two years, I will
keep searching though as I believe that will make a super 'barn find'!
I think we may need to start asking around to see what others know of.
Let's start with such places as the RSR forum, classic car forums ECT.
Perhaps even a direct email or Phone call to people we know who may be
able to help.
What about Mike Maher I think he would be a good start, he already has
a Kitcher so may know contact details of the other 7. I believe there
are other makes out there that Roly did, would be great to find some of
them.
Den.

Hallo Dennis,
I have changed the header of the site and think I know who the German
dealer is (have sent him a mail to ask) , but untill now I haven't been
able to find any other Rover Specials... Also google didn't help.
Do you know any?
Ciao, Hans

What a great idea of course you can use anything I have. How about
instead of the Kitcher only, open it up a bit more and have it for Rover
specials. Mike Cauldry told me he sends every 12 HP chasse he finds to a
chap in Germany who makes them into 'Rover Specials' perhaps if we could
find him we could ask him to send in photos of his cars.
I'm not sure if I told you that I have set up a Rover email group for
Rovers. Not to compete with the RSR forum or the Rovernet but more a
easy to use tool for help and showing photos of Rovers. How about I send
you an invite and you could reply with a link to your web link.
Take Care and just ask if I can help in anyway.

Hallo Dennis,
I have set up a trial Kitcher website: http://rover-kitcher.webklik.nl.
Do you mind if I publish some of the photo's of your car that you sent
me?
It is only in Dutch at the moment, but I intend to make it in English
language too.
Progress on the bonnet on my car is visible at
http://www.carrosseriebouwjansen.nl/
It is hinged in the middle now.
Regards, Hans.
BTW did you receive my mail with the copies of the Kitcher articles I
have?

Thank you for the offer, Eric. Al sent a list yesterday that I was able to
read.
Hope all's well with you these days and that you had a good trip. I'm sorry
I couldn't make it to Fitchburg this year, but now have the (nicer-looking)
Persian Aqua SD1 on the road that I'll plan to bring next time.
Take care,
Robert

Hi All,
An update, Jess Rainey, a member of Rovernet "crossed the pond" to Victoria
where he viewed my SD1 and parts today. We entered into an agreement for
the whole package which will conclude by mid February.
I am really pleased that he plans to continue with the restoration process.

Great news! Although SD1's can be challenging cars to deal with (believe
me, I have two), it would be a shame to lose another one, particularly after
all of Al's effort. Even though they're generally not the choice of this
group, they were quite advanced for the time -- and still drive great
when/if everything's working right.
Best of luck to the new owner with this continuing project -- let me know if
I can be of any assistance with parts sources and other information. I'll
be watching/reading Rovernet for news of your progress!

Thanks Robert, and thanks also to all who have offered their congratualations.? I am very pleased that this has worked out.? For me it is perfect, as I have an intact SD1 parts car that can never be put back on the road as it is an insurance write off.? And for Al, he knows that his project will eventually come to completion.
It's unlikely that I will have any further news until next Spring.? This acquistion comes as I am in the process of re-locating from Northern BC to the Greater Vancouver area.? No doubt there will be some questions from me along the way, so Rovernet folk please do keep your eyes open!
Robert, it may be that I also eventually have parts available.? Please do feel free to contact me if you are desperately in need of anything.
Kind regards,

Subject: [Rovernet ] Replacement TC fuel pumps
Message-ID: <896E9876-4C51-4784-8BF3-797903B11900@telusplanet.net>
Finally got my car running again after breaking down 4 weeks ago
I replaced the diaphragm in the fuel filter and added an inline
transparent fuel filter between the pump and carbs. The car would run
after priming but still starve out.
Yesterday we took the fuel filter out of the line and had fuel flow
with priming, but not with cranking of the engine.
We took the pump off the block, and examined the oil pump pushrod and
rocker arm. The push rod looked OK, and the rocker arm would activate
the valves with a strong push.
We rechecked the valves which were functioning properly, reinstalled
the pump and tested the engine.
The car is running on choke and high idle, but was still stumbling
with the choke fully off. The engine temp was not out of the blue zone
yet and the ambient temp was 3?C.
I noticed some air bubbles in the reserve fuel line when testing that
circuit, so I have to replace the line or check the unions at the tank
still.
I think the problem is solved for now, but I am considering a
replacement fuel pump.
Does anyone have a picture of the recommended cross referenced fuel
pump "FP24" or has anyone found a blanking plate and installed an
electric fuel pump on their TC?

Cut a blanking plate from a piece of aluminium or steel.
Easy.
I fitted an SU lookalike at the tank end and connected the reserve outlet to
it and blanked the other.
Made it start heaps better.

Hi, I am running a 1980 SD1 as my daily car (I have a long history of
questionable British cars as daily transport, this fits right in). I just
bought it a couple of weeks ago, so am trying to sort out some niggling
details, see below. Thanks for any help.
This car has had the A/C removed, and the fuel injection has been replaced
with an Offenhauser/Carter carb combo which seems to work just fine (it's
getting around 20 around town with good power).
1) The car seems to be charging just fine, but I get the battery light
coming on--stronger the more electrical items (like lights) that I run. I've
checked the voltage at the battery with everything on and it's still 13.85
volts.
2) Imagine my joy when I discovered all the heater controls are vacuum
operated...and don't work. However, that's because the previous owner didn't
have any vacuum running from the manifold to anywhere other than the
distributor. I assume the dome-shaped device on the right firewall is a
vacuum accumulator/modulator, and if I run a T from the vacuum advance line
to this, those controls will start working again (assuming no leaks)? The
line from that device into the car seems to be there.

Good idea. I fitted a spare P4 SU pump into the 2000 TC's system and wired it up with an on-off under-dash switch. It serves as a booster pump when starting - it's great.

Subject: [Rovernet ] P6B - Front disk rotors
Message-ID: <001801cb800f$3f482ab0$bdd88010$@net.au>
Hello Rovernetters,
My mechanic informs me that my P6B's front disk rotors are a bit thin for
re-skimming. I have a spare set which should be ok, but just in case I
wonder whether anyone knows whether there is a match to any other more
common motor vehicle's brakes.
My son who is a bit of a car enthusiast tells me that there are two popular
brake parts stores in Australia, RDA and DBA I think they are called, where
brake rotors appear to be inexpensive compared to prices seen elsewhere on
some internet stores for example. However, their catalogues don't include
the P6 in their lists of cars - they start at 1977 model Rovers.
Help with describing the specific Rover brake rotor in terms of diameter,
bolt pattern etc, would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Peter Mitchell

Peter,
A number of years ago the RCCA remanufactured P6B rotors.
I suggest you post a message in RCCA email group and you shd get some
replies. Or contact me by email and I will give you our Spare Parts
Manager's contact details, you never know there may still be some
stocks?

Sounds exactly like the fuel system on the Piper Cherokee which I will be flying on Saturday. I believe that the mechanical fuel pump on a Piper is made by AC Delco. To start the plane you turn on the electric boost pump until you see pressure on the fuel pressure gauge, then turn it off. You then start the plane, and only then use the electric boost pump during take off and landing once you are underway.

The diode assy in the alternator is going bad - that will cause the dash
light to
come on dim with increased intensity as accessories are turned on. Replace
the diodes or install another alternator.

Hello Netters,
I am looking for a source for a rear wheel bearing replacement kit for my
P6B.
As I do have a spare rear end I can always remove the bearings and ask a
local bearing outlet to match it if they can.
Suggestions would be most appreciated.
Kind regards
Peter Mitchell

If money is no problem then go with a supplier that has a kit.

Hi Peter,
I have replaced several rear bearings sets using generic suppliers from Oz.
As I recall, the specs are stamped on the original bearings which can then
be matched up. So I assume you will get the required items worldwide.
"Simkins" rings a bell. Try your local bearing suppliers and lets us know
if any problems. You will need to drift out the old bearing with a press or
hammer and punch. Bake the bearing housing in the oven and put the new
bearing in the freezer. You can then slip the new bearing into place
without trouble and eat the pizza while admiring your clever handiwork
Cheers Roger

Thanks Roger and Ben for your comments. I will follow the suggestion to
match up to the existing bearing and to try for a kit.
Searching on the net, I found a Unipart number 'GHB 140' for the P6 rear
wheel bearing, that type also appears to have been used in Jaguars of the
same year.
Many thanks once again, I feel that I am making progress.
Kind regards
Peter Mitchell

When you do this do make sure that you obtain a collapsible spacer for the rear hub; t's a pretty critical part of getting the set up right. You can reuse the old spacer, but will have difficulty in setting up the preload and are likley to have to replac the new bearings agains in short order
Unofrtunatley it is never supplied in a bearing kit but has to be ordered spearately fom one of the specialist firms - I have to bring these in from the usual suspects in the UK, but u=you may have a local source. I don't know if the Aussie rover clubs have this sort of thing, but they may well know who does as well as who sells full bearing kits

The spacer can be expanded easily by slipping it over a similarly sized pipe and gently tapping the bulge out.
Yours

Rock auto has them. Here is a like to the page of their website. It has all the part numbers, you should be able to cross reference from there. I had the wheel bearing done on my 2000 automatic back in 94, and the spacer was not replaced, and it is still good.

Peter,
I would definitely call Ruth at ABC. She was very helpful regarding my replacing the bearings. The other posters are correct; the spacer is critical and the job although not all that difficult is clearly not as easy as the front bearings. The correct source for bearings is "Timkin".

Hi Netters,
Slats has posted to Rovernet since he and Marie were in San Antonio.
What he failed to mention was a certain "heaviness in his chest" as
Marie put it. To make a long story short, he had heart surgery and
should be home now. Marie didn't say how extensive the surgery was, but
did say that he didn't have a heart attack. Prayers and good wishes can
be offered as appropriate.

Thanks for letting us know, Kent.
To Slats: who will be back at his computer ASAP as I relate Slats to others I
know with varying degrees of heart surgery, Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Your doctor and cardio nurses will be all over you with important information.
Nod your head, thanks. Soon you will be back to what you like to do. However,
now you will be on their radar and can carry on with more confidence than those

Hi Netters,
Yes, I am home and progressing nicely. slowly, but nicely. First post?op appiontment with Doc, today. Not sleeping well and uncomfortable for too long in fron of the computer. Heart? was in good shape, but had three arteries by-passed. It really hurts, but should be good for quite a few more. I tried for a 26 year warranty, but could not get it in writting.
Will post as I can get on the computer.

Eric, et al. I am much more fortunate than most in this situation. Marie is a retired RN, Cardiovascular Clinical Specialist and wrote the book. I know that I will be given a large dose of Diet and Exercise discussions.

Subject: [Rovernet ] OT: Slats heart surgery
Hi Netters,
Slats has posted to Rovernet since he and Marie were in San Antonio. What he failed to mention was a certain "heaviness in his chest" as Marie put it. ?To make a long story short, he had heart surgery and should be home now. ?Marie didn't say how extensive the surgery was, but did say that he didn't have a heart attack. ?Prayers and good wishes can be offered as appropriate.
Roverepairtheoldpumpedly,
Kent K.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Bearings
Message-ID: <02c401cb8257$e9345e00$bb9d1a00$@net>
Greetings Rover folk,
Regarding finding ball/roller bearings for our cars and nearly anything
else. the number stamped on the edge/side of the bearing race is a universal
specification. Take that number to any bearing supply house and they will
give you the identical new bearing. About 25 years ago, while living in
Daytona Beach, FL, I took the part number for the front crankshaft bearing
of an Italian model airplane engine to the local bearing supply and within
minutes walked out with a perfect replacement.
We are not constrained to search for and buy from only British car parts
sources for bearings. There are many bearing supply houses on the net, too,
often with even better prices.
Regards,
Gross Scruggs
Annapolis MD

Slats,
Don't worry to much about the lack of warranty, in the event you need to
make a claim I doubt you'll be to worried.......though the wife might!! :)
All the best for a speedy recovery.

While anyone is out there looking I am in need of the manual shifting parts
for a late model Rover P5. I would like to install these parts in my P3 so
that it will look a bit more original. It is working with the P4 shifter but
there are some conflictions with the dash. It misses but only by a small
margin that may prove to be a problem once on the road.

Hi Folks
Is there a way of knowing when the swivel joints(king pins) are completely full of oil. I find it runs out while filling and I'm never sure if I have enough in there??? Second question, anyone know the Baldwin Oil filter number for the P4-100 or if there is another suitable oil filter available,
Cheers Ben (irishrover)

Hi Ben,
If the P4 oil filter is the same as for the P5 and I think it is,
the Baldwin oil filter is no longer available. Contact Ruth at ABC she did
have some in stock I believe for the land Rover that is the same filter.

P4 swivel pins: Look on the *side* of the pin housing near the top for a small bolt [from memory 7/8ths] with copper washer underneath. This is a level plug. Remove this bolt and fill housing with oil in usual way - when oil runs out of its hole, the housing is full.Incidently, if not done before, remove the blanking plate on the base of the swivel pin housing and use [e.g.] a thin knitting needle inserted from the top of the housing [filler bolt/plug removed] pushed down through the hollow kingpin to clean out the inevitable crud.
P4 oil filter is the same as for 6 cylinder Land-Rover [2.6 liter engine] in production mid-1960's up to circa 1980.RS

Thanks for the info Richard, I was trying to top them up through the level hole on the side. Now I see the filler on the top so it should be a lot easier once I do it right. Do you happen to know the filter number as you in the L/R.

Not sure yet as I discovered two other major problems!! 1- the safety gate that prevents going into reverse by accident was missing, never installed, I'm waiting for the part, it also activates the back up light so obviously they have never worked either. 2- when I removed the trans tunnel I found the access hole for checking and or topping up the gear box oil was sealed over and the rubber plug missing. The gear box oil level has not been checked for at least ten years!!I have corrected that issue and the box is full of oil again, when I drained it I got barely a 1/4 pint and I'm amazed that the overdrive even worked. I did check the selector ball bearings and springs and they appear okay. I'm hoping once everything is re-installed with oil in the system the second gear will be cured.

Hello
After being in a Rover coma for months, the awakening starts with Magstar wheels. I have been doing some refinishing and all that I need to complete the picture are some centre (center!) cap things that are in similar excellent condition. Anyone know if something that will do the job is available - the diameter is about 2 5/16" or so????
Thanks

Adrian,
Magstar wheels were used on some Mustangs. While the wheel diameter and
width were different from those on Rovers, the center caps are the same,
and these caps are a larger diameter than those for Rostyles. You will
need to find or make a Rover Viking logo decal to cover the Ford/Shelby
logo...
http://www.mustangpartsgarage.com/catalog/SearchEngineCatalog/1967-shelby-magstar-wheel-center-cap.htm
http://store.sacramento-mustang.com/1967-shelby-magstar-wheel-center-cap-p570.aspx?utm_medium=cse&utm_source=googlebase
Picture of the Shelby Magstar wheel with center cap:
http://www.cobranda.com/kehamawh.html
This source has caps for $40, where many others are $60 - $70:
http://www.cobranda.com/macecap.html
These lug nuts appear to be the same shape as those used on Rovers, but
I assume the Ford stud size and thread are different.

Subject: [Rovernet ] Lugnuts for P6 Magnum 500 wheels

While looking up information on the Magstar wheel centers, I came across
some (new to me) information on Magnum 500 wheels.
I noticed that Ford wheel lugs are 1/2 inch diameter x 20 threads per
inch -- the same as NADA Rover 2000TC Magnum 500 hubs (not the same as
any other Rover hub). The lug nuts for Ford Magnum 500 wheels are not
the same as those used on Rovers, but the lug nuts for the 1966/67
Mustang "Styled Steel" wheel appears to be identical (notice the short
hexagonal section):
NOS Ford:

Repro for Fords ($2.00 each):
http://www.specialtywheel.com/accessories/lugnuts/ford-styled-lug-nuts.html
Apparently lugnuts for Mustang Magnum 500 wheels are NOT the same (in
fact they look similar to Rostyle lugnuts; the hexagonal section is
taller.):
http://www.specialtywheel.com/accessories/lugnuts/magnum-style-lugnuts.html
For background, Kelsey Hayes sold Magnum 500 and Magstar wheels to Rover
North America before the Rostyle wheel was available, and also sold the
Magnum 500 to several other car manufacturers including Ford, GM,
Chrysler, Avanti and maybe others. They apparently offered a menu of
minor variations in lugnuts, center caps, and wheel finishes to allow
different makes of car to have their own style of wheel to some extent.

Are these the centers you need to finish them? I bought some for my Rostyle wheels, and glued them on with epoxy. My car is in winter storage right now, so I cannot go and measure the diameter for you.

Hi Ben - You're on to it. Unscrew the filler at the top of the housing and the level plug on the side. I use a lever oil can with a flexible spout - use a thick oil in the 120-140 range. Sorry can't say about L-R oil filter, I'm in NZ and locally available brands part # won't be helpful in Eire. Suggest googling your popular filter brand[s] - their websites will probably have on-long catalogues.RS

Hi Richard
Many thanks for the info, I didn't know you were in New Zealand. In 1966 when I decide to immigrate it was a toss up between Canada and NZ, I ended up in Canada as I had more contacts there, but every winter I wonder if I made the right decision. I visited Invercargill and Auckland in 1956 whilst in the RN. Just the other night I watched a very good film about the 'Worlds fastest Indian" and the guy that broke all the records on that bike came from Invercargill.
Cheers and Enjoy your summer!!! Ben (irishrover)

Suggest googling your popular filter brand[s] - their websites will probably have on-long catalogues.RS

Great info - that is exactly what I need. I will just replace the
inserts with the new rover plastic discs and I will be done. My other
rover, purchased when I got rid of a 1966 mustang, has the magnum
wheels so this is all quite useful...

Hi Adrian,
Careful... the Rover logo badges that are shown in the ebay ad that
James posted are aluminum (aluminium!) disks that are convex. They can
be glued onto MGB Rostyle center caps for use on Rover Magnum 500 or
Rostyle wheels, but the disks are too small to use on Magstar caps.
(Just to be sure we are talking about the same wheels, the Magnum 500
and Rostyle wheels are both all-steel with chrome finish, and the
Magstars are the ones with the alloy centers and black-painted steel rims.)
Also, the center of the Magstar cap is flat, so you will need a flat
badge or decal to adapt a Mustang Magstar center cap. Here is one
solution that can be adapted to the Magstar cap:

I think I'm due for a rebuild. My brakes won't fully release unless I tap on the brake pedal again.
Ruth says that kits are no longer available but new units are available for $375 each.
Turns out I bought rebuild kits years ago on Ebay. Who should I send the boosters to?

The servos in P4's are a lift from the same shelf as from a late Healey.
You could contact either of these two firms and see if they can repair or
provide kits for the later Rovers.

I need to locate a fitted car cover; (in the US) actually not for a Rover,
but a MKII Jaguar. There seems to be a Huge difference in price from various
makers; most being over priced. Does anyone have suggestions? This would be
for a car stored inside. Thank you, James Dean, Ft. Lauderdale.

Hi Rovernetters,
What are the odds on putting a 4.6 Rover block in a P6B? I see one can
get "new" 4.6 short blocks from Atlantic British, and I'm rather
tempted. Would the stock final drive be up to it? What about the BW35
autobox?
I can't help but think some of our performance-minded colleagues must
have done something along this line...
Opinions, please!

Hi Bill
I know a chap in Austrialia or New Zealand has done a 3.9lt engine transplant. Not sure about 4.6 though.
Maybe search www.classicroverforum.com I think I saw it there in either the V8 or members projects sections.
Cheers,

various power upgrades are floating around here in Victoria Australia
leyland P76 4.4 engines a BL variant of the rover V8 are in P6Bs and
P5Bs with various gearboxes including GM boxes and rover ones
I have a five litre rover V8 with a supra 5 speed manual in my P5B
coupe with the engine a rebuilt, stroker crank/bigger pistons/range
rover heads/stage one cam and few other mods. Also brake upgrade a
good idea in a P5 but not necessary in the P6
length can be a problem with the 4.6 engines but I think the use of P5/
P6 timing covers and pumps helps that
I fitted elctric fans to mine so skinny fan plus machined shortened
water pump boss gave the necessary clearance

Very do-able...
You need to set up the tengine for a P6B style front end with the short water pump , as using the modern LR modern timing cover, with the new style oil pump, water pump and serpentine belts will foul the radiator and the bodywork. Carburation will need to be worked on of course - you can go the Edlebrock/Holley route or if you are sticking with SUs there's a chap from OZ on the Classic Rover Forum who has re-profiled his needles to suit the 4.6.
He also reckons the back end and gearbox are fine and fuel economy has improved, but I think he also admits to being a little bit gentle with his car.

Hello Rovernet,
I have had a great time for over 10 years with my p6b that I installed a
4.0 into. The engine is great. At the same time as this work, I also
installed a 5 speed transmission out of a Rover SD1. I can compliment and
criticize the outcome of both of these conversions.
There are plenty of rusted out Land Rover Discovery donor vehicles around
now that can contribute a perfectly good 4.0 for you to use. This engine
provides plenty of power for the weight of the p6b, in all honesty! The
improvements to the engine itself are more of an asset than the extra power,
in my opinion. You gain a stronger block, more displacement, a larger volume
oil pump and the benefit of modern rubber oil seals. even stronger rubber
engine mounts fit in.
The change in character that the 5 speed trans brings to the car is
phenomenal. I have done the conversion to my own car and one other one for
a customer. It makes the car feel more like the "sport sedan" that we all
hope it is! The installation of the 5 speed transmission is possible with a
little overall mechanical courage and relatively few alterations to the car
that could not be reversed if the car ever required it. The two most
involved alterations involve adding a clutch master cylinder and pedal, due
to space restrictions, and rerouting of the header pipe as it passes the
bell housing area.
If any of you have questions on this installation, please feel free to
email me at gbbourque at gmail dot com and look at photos of a p6b with a 5
speed trans all installed at www dot gbservicesusa dot com. Once here, look
at the Rover sedan page, as well as the other sections if you please!!
Happy Rovering,

The BW 35 auto box is already on its limits with the 3500 engine and diff
certainly wont take any more HP than it already gets, best advice..
Don't do it.

Hi Bill,
If you are looking at Crate motors, how about these guys in the states who
do the Buick 215.
http://www.precisionengine.com/rebuilt-engines/buick-crate-engines/index.html
200 hp, 250 foot lbs of torque for under 3 grand looks pretty
tempting....and you still have a 3500 so no worries about final drives...

Yes, very do-able, but a little more complicated than outlined so far.
Changing the front cover requires using a different camshaft (not a
problem if the block didn't have one to begin with), timing chain set
and distributor drive gear.
When using a 4.0 or 4.6 short block with the early pre-'95 camshaft, it
is highly advisable to have the camshaft machined to accommodate the
camshaft retainer fitted to the 4.0/4.6 engines. This retainer
positively locates the camshaft in the block, whereas on earlier engines
the cam was able to move forward in the block producing chain stretch,
altered distributor timing, and increased lobe wear. Admittedly, this is
more of a problem when oil pressure is increased for racing. Still, why
not take a little extra time (seems I have to re-learn that repeatedly)
to do it right.
The crankshaft on the 4.0/4.6 has a longer nose to accommodate the drive
gear for the crank driven oil pump. When using the older style pump and
the P5B/P6B crank pulley and hub (or the SD1 hub and pulley, for that
matter), you must use the crankshaft nose spacer supplied when these
engines were retrofitted by dealers to older vehicles. These are readily
available from suppliers and perhaps also still from LR dealers. The
4.0/4.6 crankshafts also use a longer Woodruff key which, I believe, is
still necessary when fitting the earlier crankshaft damper and nose
spacer simply because the slot in the crank nose is longer.
Unless you are using GEMS engine management, you will need to purchase
or make a cover for the hole at the rear of the block normally occupied
by the crank position sensor.
Hope I haven't left anything out.
Roverly,
Kent K.

Thanks to everyone for the information so far... This is a link to the
item in question:
http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9257F.cfm
I got the impression that this was a modified pre-serpentine-belt
engine, since they say it fits '87 to '95 cars. If this is the case,
would not a 3.5 front cover with oil pump, etc., bolt right on ?
Cheers,
-- Bill

Hello rovernet,
Whatever species of oil pump and front cover combination that you choose
to use, you will still hl have a timing chain. The taller/ later model/
post P6B oil pump gears are a vast improvement. They give you better oil
volume/pressure during hot idling and general lower rpm operation. They can
be fit with the earlier cover and a shim that JR Wadhams in england sells.
They can be fit in a later cover that already has the opening made the same
height as the taller gears. The original filter base/oil pump cover is
retained, as are all the sending units that screw into it. There are no
clearance problems and you gain alot or oil pressure as compared to an
earlier engine. Alternately, a later model engine fits with its more robust
parts with no space problems.

Hi Bill and Garrett,
Short block in question already has the right cam and timing set, you
just need to make sure it has (or that you obtain) the crankshaft nose
spacer and sensor block off plate.
As to oil pump gears, there is a lot of disagreement. There are three
sizes of pre-'95 oil pump gears: 1) stock P5B, P6B, Range Rover '70-'75,
and all small block Buick V6 and V8 up until Buick 3800 went to crank
driven gears(.875 in/22.2 mm), 2) SD1 and Range Rover '76-'94 (1.045
in./26.5mm)-these are a little taller than the earlier gears and require
either a Range Rover or SD1 front cover and a different distributor
drive arrangement, and 3) oversize gears in the style of #1 which use
the earlier distributor drive and require a spacer plate to be installed
between the front cover and the oil pump cover plate. These last are
longer gears than the SD1 size gears. All pump gears are nominally the
same diameter.
The trade off and point of controversy is the distributor drive gear.
The larger the pump, the more load it puts on the distributor drive
gear. TA Performance (the Buick specialists) recommend stock size
(P5B/P6B/Buick) pump for street engines. The JRW kit to which Garrett
refers does not use SD1 size gears but the taller #3 size gears. You can
purchase the #3 kit at most parts houses. Just ask for an oversize pump
kit for a '68 Buick 350. Internal clearances within the pump and wear in
the upper end of the engine (cam bearings, rocker gear) are major
factors in oil pressure. Never fit new rod/main bearings without fitting
new cam bearings as well addressing wear in the rocker assembly either
by replacing shafts and rockers or fitting oil restrictors in the oil
passage to the rockers. Likewise, oil restrictors are needed when using
an oversize pump. This goes for using old rocker assemblies on a new
engine also.
In the case of the 4.6 short block using P6B front cover, I think I
would use the oversize kit (#3) and put oil restrictors in the heads.
The larger gears will compensate for some wear in the old housing,
though if it is badly scored you will need a better housing (front
cover). Distributor drive gear life can be improved by increasing oil
flow to the gear in several ways, but I think you'll be OK just pulling
the distributor and checking for wear regularly. A P6B with automatic
will not see high RPM where most of the distributor drive gear problems
occur.

Thanks, Steve,
I wonder how I'd like driving with all those pre-emptive systems. Not much of a stationwagon, though.
We came right along and got home about an hour ago, long enough to have stopped at NAPA for a new headlight bulb and to put the roof box on the car - the first step in packing up for the south.
Thanks for all your help and your company yesterday.
Wonder how you're feeling.

Hi all,
I am looking for some advice. I have a Rover 3500 for which I got purchased
manifold for a two barrel Rochester.
I now need the carburetor
Are there any suggestions as to what carburetor works best with these
engines. I suspect that all Rochesters were not created equal.
Has any one had any experience with one off of another more popular v8 like
the 305 or 283?
Thus far I have drawn a blank in finding one with identification numbers
that match the one used in the 60's on the 215 Buick.

Hello all
I think I would try a motorcraft 2150 with an adapter from the large bore 2 barrel to the small bore 2 barrel.
Cheers.

At the festival of speed here in Perth yesterday I was talking to a chap
about his racing TR8. Although I though the car was very competitive he
wanted to change from the holly carb as he was losing low down torque
and Revs. I have heard about this problem before the answers seems to be
a 4 barrel Weber with an Edelbrock manifold. RPi have them for sale on
the eBay shop..
Perhaps something for you to check out.
Den.

The SD1 I'm running as my daily driver has been converted to a Carter AFB
4-barrel on an Offenhauser manifold. You can see photos here, including my
ridiculous new air cleaner:
http://www.rustyheaps.com/2010/11/17/new-air-cleaner-on-the-rover/
I have no before/after to compare it to (only other Rover with a V8 I've run
was a Disco), but it seems to run well with good power, and I'm getting
about 21 MPG around town.

There is no V8 that sounds as good as a Rover...Erm a Windsor has a good
hammering sound...Then again a lot of the speedway cars use a Chevy
thats a cool sound too. Then of course a Lexus V8 with twin turbo can
scream at ya...? Hmmmmm....A Rover is still the best though....(smile)

stunner

Great info, thanks - that youtube was inspirational.
I am still wanting to try to use the two barrel as I already have the
manifold. My 3500 is low mileage and unmodified.
The calculation for max cfm for a 3500 at 6,000 rpm comes out between 300
cfm at 80% and 370 cfm at 100%depending on the efficiency of the motor.
(I suspect 80% would even be optomistic for a stock Rover).
I am led to understand that the racers use the R187 Rochester which is
rated at 500 cfm, but would likely flow 390 cfm using the vacuum available
on the stock motor........This means adapting the larger base 2 barrel
Rochester onto the smaller base manifold.
Has any one done this?
Al

indeed!
the event was a Tasman Revival so lots of Tasman cars present
lots of heros of yesteryear as well
there were 7 Formula 5000 cars and driven vigorously in anger, even a
three car pile up but they got the cars fixed for the second race and
the next day
very exciting all round
