If somebody is interested and for the Rover section. Inside everything is done: bored to 3.6 liters, omega forged pistons 10:1 comp ratio, balanced and tuffrided bottom end, holbay mid range solid lifter profile camshaft, small block chevy solid lifters, steel push rods, adjustable steel rockers, twin valve springs, std heads, main bearing stud conversion, shot peened H section rods, polished and drained valley.

I bought the engine with two ankled manifold (good when the engine is not horizontal but the carbs are), all 4 Dellortos faced in one direction, easy línkage function! I wanted the linkage in the center so carbs face to face and the fuel lines outside.

If you want to use Ford valve covers you have to use the adapter plates. If you want to use Weber IDF or Dellorto DRLA carbs you have a problem: No space.

Old manifolds:
