The alloy Buick/ Rover swap has been done and its a good one. My first coupe had a major identity crisis and it had a hot A14 followed by a 1800cc L series and then finally a Rover V8
bored to 3.9 litres using Chev pistons. I still have the V8 but it's now in a 74 MGBGT. It makes for a great sleeper!!! The 4.4 Litre P76 has a longer stroke to achieve the capacity so it
is taller and the measurement across the heads is wider than the Rover. The Rover is a strong motor and is very light, in fact it is lighter than the 1800cc 4 cylinder MGB motor until it
is filled with water!!!which is why that conversion is so popular and easy.
