Thanks.
I hope to start on the car this Fall.
I've been getting all the parts together for some time now, getting tired of stepping over em, need to put em all in one spot, like under the Datsun's hood!
Had the same issue with motorcycle parts, so I started building whole bikes out of em.

Did you get any Nissan Gloria Y44 V8s there?

That would be the best as they where restricted to 220hp with the crap inlet and outlets, compact and well engineered.

Ah well I don't really know, maybe we have em ( Gloria) but it's most likely called something esle.
I didn't really pick the car motor combo. The Rover motor WAS going to have a motorcycle built around it, the project died on the drawing table, so I saved the motor and all the crap we got with it.
If I had it to do all over again?, I might pick something else, IDK. One thing about these motors is, it's all standard issue stuff, parts are very cheap and EZ to work with.
I've had quite a few buick 215's, still have a bare block and heads for test fitting and setting up the headers, mounts and so on. The block is like 75lbs, I can pick it up and set it in the car by hand.
Most all the other late model v8's, Nissan's Toyota's or anything Alum is more money than I have to spend. I've had the motor longer than we've had the car, my son and I had to find something to put it in.
